Path Analysis Model for Effective Load shedding

Abstract

In the present scenario, power system networks are operating very close to their limits. In order to prevent cascaded failures and eventually blackout, load shedding is used as a tool. There are many methodologies which discusses the effective ways for load shedding. In this work a new perspective is presented-path analysis. Path analysis is a technique under structured equation modelling which explains about dependent variable and independent variables. Here the output results are modelled and presented in path analysis, through which the significant variable which is crucial in determining the output can be identified. Correlation between crucial parameters which are having influence in output are also analysed. Streszczenie. W zaprezentowanym scenariuszu system energetyczny pracuje blisko swoich granicznych możliwości. W celu zapobieżenia kaskadowej awarii lub blackoutu przewidziano możliwość odcinania obciążeń. Jako metodę zaproponowano algorytm analizy ścieżki (path analysis). Analizowano korelację między strategicznymi parametrami. Model analizy ścieżki jako metoda skutecznej redukcji obciążeń system energetycznego
