description Load shedding control is an emergency control measure to maintain the frequency stability of the power system. Most of the existing load shedding methods use the extensive form of directly cutting off the outlet of the substation, featuring low control accuracy and high control cost. A network reconfiguration technique can adjust the topology of the distribution network and offers more optimization space for load shedding control. Therefore, this paper proposes a reconfiguration–load shedding coordination optimization scheme to reduce the power loss caused by load shedding control. In the proposed method, a load shedding mathematical optimization model based on distribution network reconfiguration is first established. The tie switches and segment switches in the distribution network are used to perform the reconfiguration of the distribution network, and the load switches are adopted to realize the load shedding. To improve the solving efficiency of the model, a solving strategy that combined a minimum spanning tree algorithm with an improved genetic algorithm is trailed to address the nonlinear and nonconvex terms. The application of the proposed method and model are finally verified via the IEEE 33 bus system, and the advantages in reducing the loss cost and the number of outage users are accordingly proven.
