This paper discusses a genetic algorithm (GA) based optimal load shedding problem at the electrical power distribution systems, due to capacity deficiency conditions caused by unscheduled outages in the bulk – generation and transmission (G&T) – system. The objective is to minimize the sum of curtailed load and also system losses for a given generation within the frame-work of system operational and security constraints. For variety decrease in supplied power to the distribution network the result has been saved to be used for optimal load shedding applications. The proposed method is tested on a radial distribution system with 33 load points for more practical applications.
