Ranking load in microgrid based on fuzzy analytic hierarchy process and technique for order of preference by similarity to ideal solution algorithm for load shedding problem

<span lang="EN-US">This paper proposes a method to rank the loads in microgrid by means of weight that combines criteria together terms both technical and economic aspects. The fuzzy analytic hierarchy process technique for order preference similarity ideal solution (fuzzy AHP TOPSIS) algorithm is used calculate this combined weight. be considered are load importance factor (LIF), voltage electrical distance (VED) sensitivity index (VSI). helps judgment matrix (AHP) method, making it easier compare objects with each other remove uncertainty method. (TOPSIS) normalize decision matrix, determine positive negative solutions proximity solution, finally all alternatives. combination TOPSIS algorithms optimal ranking problems multi-criteria environment. 19-bus system applied demonstrate effectiveness proposed method.</span>
