Master’s thesis in Electrical Engineering Department discusses the load-shedding control strategy to improve voltage levels for the radial distribution network

A master’s thesis in the Department of Electrical Engineering at the University of Technology discussed the load-shedding control strategy to improve voltage levels for the radial distribution network

The master’s thesis submitted by the student Oday Hamid Abdul Mohsen Masoud included obtaining the optimal level of voltage stability and residual load when implementing the load-shedding process while maintaining the load priority for each bus in the distribution network. The proposed technique was also implemented using the (MATLAB) program and simulating two cases (load change, line cut). Its efficiency was tested on the IEEE 33-Bus system and on the AL-Akrameen network (Bus-57) as part of the Iraqi distribution network. The results showed that the proposed technique is the most distinguished compared to other methods in improving the residual load of the system and enhancing the voltage stability of the network after load cutting. The discussion committee consisted of Assistant Professor Dr. Qasim Abdul Razzaq Ali as Chairman, Assistant Professor Dr. Kanaan Ali Jalal and Assistant Professor Dr. Muhammad Hisham Abdul Har as members, and Assistant Professor Dr. Muhammad Khadir Abdul as supervisor.
