Optimal load shedding study of naval-ship power system using the Everett optimization technique

This paper reports an application of the Everett optimization technique for value-based load shedding in naval-ship power system with network constraints and application of reliability constraints. A new congestion analysis index-expected contingency margin (ECM), which considers the probability of disturbance, and reliability indices loss of load probability (LOLP) and expected unserved energy (EUE) are presented to filter the critical outage and congestion cases. The optimal load shedding scheme carried out using the Everett optimization technique uses a utility function, which addresses the cost of allocating pay-off while satisfying the network and reliability constraints and generation capacity limits. The algorithm search for the optimal 2 to form a fair pricing mechanism, which produces maximum pay-off and minimum load shedding while, satisfying system constraints. The proposed approach is examined on naval-ship power system and detailed results are shown. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
