Abstract

In the realm of power systems, recent research has focused on advancing decentralized load shedding schemes. However, many studies have concentrated on theory and offline simulations, neglecting practical implementation due to hardware constraints. This paper presents a testbed for implementing and simulating decentralized load shedding using the Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) Real-Time Digital Simulator (RSCAD/RTDS) framework. It utilizes SEL751A relays for automated load shedding and demonstrates the feasibility of these schemes in real-world power utility scenarios. This paper presents a practical approach to implementing this decentralized load shedding scheme utilizing the IEC 61850 standard. Furthermore, the paper outlines the development of a testbed environment to facilitate the validation and testing of the proposed load shedding schemes.
