Abstract
This letter develops a mathematical model to distribute the under-frequency load shedding amount across the power system load points. The objective is to preserve the system operating point at post-contingency and after the load shedding as close as possible to that of pre-contingency. To do so, the total absolute change in line flows is sought to be minimized. Hence, the system security constraints satisfied before contingency occurrence are less vulnerable to violation. It is proven that when the number of credible contingencies exceeds load shedding candidates, an even distribution across the load points is optimal.
