An Approach for Load Shedding in Islanded Microgrids

This paper proposes an Optimal Power Flow for defining the minimum load to be shed maintain steady-state frequency between allowable limits in islanded microgrids. The droop coefficients and setpoints (no-load voltage of each Distributed Generator) are optimized considering microgrid frequency, nodal voltages, power generation (apparent reactive powers). approach is applied a 33 nodes, 24 hours time-horizon. found results point methodology effectiveness.
