What is it about?

Most non-developing and under developing countries strive hard to tackle the situation of power crisis and to combat the imbalance between the power generation and load demand, especially in the case of increasing of the population. therefore, prioritized the loads according to their importance and apply reduction strategy in the demands while the supplied power to the important loads such as health care and security installation are kept intact without any interruption as possible.

Why is it important?

In this work, we propose a logarithmic reduction method to reduce the load according to the priority and day life criticality. The method for shedding the load base on Reduction Matrix and which in turn depend on the priority demands. The higher priority demands are fed with a reliable power source by the real time monitoring of the network accompanied with power reducing for the lower priority demands. We test a real data sample provided by the Iraqi national grid control center in Baghdad. Our simulation results prove effectiveness and practicality of the applied method paving the way for possible applications in power systems

Perspectives

The current patent presents a new scenario for LS by taking into consideration grid complexity and priority of load categories at the feeder level. We formed a reduction matrix based on the implemented importance and initial load matrices, thus leading to a new load matrix. This matrix represents applicable loads with a reasonable reduction that utilizes a compromise solution between the power generation and the demand. this strategy would ensure that critical loads, such as health care and security installation, remain intact without any power interruptions and the reduction can be distributed between all the non-critical loads to achieve an effective process and improve the reliability.
