Optimization of Load Ranking and Load Shedding in a Power System Using the Improved AHP Algorithm

Abstract

This paper proposes a method of load ranking and load shedding in a power system based on the calculation of the priority weighting continuity of the power supply of loads and the improved AHP algorithm. The proposed method applies the theories of covariance between objects, correlation, and fuzzy preference to develop a fuzzy preference correlation matrix based on the percentage of Vital Load, Semi Vital Load, and Non-Vital Load at each load bus. This matrix replaces the judgment matrix of the traditional AHP algorithm to form the criteria layers and scheme layers of the problem. The priority weighting continuity of the power supply of loads is continuously calculated and updated according to the load profile and is used to distribute the load shedding power to each load bus. This distribution optimizes the objective function and maximizes the load benefits, thereby minimizing the damages due to load shedding. The traditional AHP method and the proposed method are applied to the IEEE 30 bus system and the result comparison demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Applying the Analytical Hierarchy Process to Identify the Challenges and Priorities of Reconstruction Projects in Iraq

“… The program creates the matrix, calculates the eigenvector of the priorities, and verifies the proportion of the consistency required for the success of the pairwise comparison, meaning that there is no contradiction in experts' opinions. The CR in all the pairwise comparison matrices was less than 0.1, which shows a reasonable constancy in the assessment matrix [33]. After completing these procedures, the following results are obtained:…”

Analysis of a Frictionless Electro Viscoelastic Contact Problem with Signorini Conditions

“…" ∈ [ , † (0, ; :) , U ∈ [ , † (0, ; [) (37) A quadruplet (", -, U, X) satisfying the ( 9) and ( 10) is called a weak solution to the mechanical problem w. It can be concluded from Theorem 1 that problem w admits a unique solution. Regarding the regularity of the weak solution, it follows to refer to the regularity of the element (", U) ∈ [ , † (0, ; :) × [ , † (0, ; [), to the constitutive laws ( 9) and (10), and also to the hypotheses (19) and ( 22).

“…It was supposed that the body was electro-viscoelastic, rested on a rigid foundation by the part Q of its border, this contact was affected without friction, and the tangential movements were completely free. Additionally, as the quasistatic case was studied, the body Ω had a behavior law of the form of (9), see [8][9][10]. Under these considerations, the studied mechanical problem can be formulated as follows: Problem 1.…”

The Efficacy of the Strategy Planning Process Criteria based on the Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process

“…Measuring the effectiveness of the techniques used to help people make decisions is crucial [11], as it could allow the development of a structured model designed to assist decisionmakers and selected specialists in dealing with complex problems, achieving consensus, and making the best decisions possible [12]. A hierarchical organization of the components of the problem is needed to analyze them objectively [13][14]. FAHP is a modern analytical approach that employs a fuzzy number triangle to evaluate the values of criteria, making it an excellent method in MCDM that provides clear answers in paired matrices.…”
