Abstract
In this paper, an Automatic Load Shedding module is
developed for teaching and research. The module uses an
Arduino microcontroller combined with a switching circuit to
implement a load shedding plan in four settlements of a
laboratory-scale urban settlement. The switching plan, in line
with the power Distribution Company (DISCO) approval, is
done to ensure optimal usage of the available 7.5MW as against
the 10MW power demand. The developed module is useful as a
teaching aid for illustrating power system automation among
undergraduates.
