A master’s thesis at the Department of Electrical Engineering discusses the control strategy for optimizing the voltage levels of a radial distribution network

Discussed a master’s thesis in the Department of Electrical Engineering at the Technological University
(Load-shedding Control Strategy to Improve Voltage Levels for Radial Distribution Network)

The master’s thesis submitted by the student Uday Hamid Abdul Mohsen Masoud included obtaining the optimal level of voltage stability and residual load when implementing load shedding while maintaining the load priority for each bus in the distribution network. The proposed technique was implemented using MATLAB and simulating two cases (load change and line disconnection). Its efficiency was tested on the IEEE 33-Bus system and on the AL-Akrameen network (Bus-57) as part of the Iraqi distribution network. The results show that the proposed technique is the most distinctive compared to other methods in improving the residual load of the system and enhancing the voltage stability of the network after load shedding.

The discussion committee consisted of Prof. Dr. Qasim Abdul Razzaq Ali as chairman, Prof. Dr. Kanaan Ali Jalal and Prof. Dr. Mohammed Hisham Abdul Harar as members, and Prof. Dr. Mohammed Khudair Abdul as supervisor and member.
