Steady state load shedding to mitigate blackout in power systems using an improved harmony search algorithm

Generation contingencies in a power system lead to under-frequency and low voltages owing to active and reactive power deficiencies. Load shedding is considered as a last alternative to avoid the cascaded tripping and blackout in power systems during generation contingencies. It is essential to opti...
