This paper presents a formulation of the optimal steady state load shedding problem that uses the sum of the squares of the difference between the connected active and the reactive load and the supplied active and reactive power. The latter are treated as dependent variables modelled as functions of bus voltages only. An investigation of the performance of the proposed algorithm over a range of generation deficits as well as overload conditions is presented. Testing is done using IEEE 14, 30, 57, and 118 bus power systems, representing small and medium power systems. The optimal results are compared with results obtained using two earlier approaches. The results obtained using the proposed approach appear to give a better optimal state of the power system.
