Hi Ray, I have a scenario where a line fails, and this initially failed line triggers more failures. This continues until the system experiences a blackout. My plan is to prevent blackout by performing a load-shedding. I have load-shedding protocol as an optimization problem.
Objective Function: Maximize loads in the bus Constraint: Power flowing in the branches should be always less than the capacity of lines. My question is how to control the power flow in the lines. I have the capacity of lines. I guess I need to modify the powerflow code runpf.m or makeBdc.m? But the question is which part? Given the capacity of lines, I have to solve for the optimum voltage angles such that the load at the buses is maximized. This will tell me how much load was needed to curtail to minimize the cascading failure. The relation for voltage angles and power flow is given by: Pf = BF * Va + PFINJ in makeBdc.m file. Any help would be greatly appreciated, Ray. I look forward to your replies. Best, Bijay
