Frequency actuated load shedding programs have been implemented across power systems to safeguard systems during periods of declining frequency. These programs automatically disconnect a portion of load equal to or greater than a generation deficiency to maintain balance. Industrial facilities also use load shedding schemes, which have increasingly been integrated with computerized power management systems to provide automated load shedding. To maintain stability, automated load shedding systems are necessary as disturbances can plunge a system into a hazardous state faster than an operator can react. The proposed system implements an embedded system using a PIC microcontroller to constantly monitor frequency changes and disconnect loads according to priority to perform automated load shedding.
