This paper proposes a novel approach for separation of bulk power system into several stable subsystems
following a severe disturbance. An interconnected power system may become unstable due to wide area
contingency when it is operated close to the stability boundaries as a result of increased demand, power
industry restructuring and competition in the deregulated electricity markets. Meanwhile, large-scale
power system controlled splitting is the last resort to prevent catastrophic cascading outages and wide
area blackout. The proposed method of this paper reduces the huge initial search space of the islanding
strategy to only interface boundary network by clustering the coherent generators and simplifying the
network graph. Then, Backward Elimination Method (BEM) based on Primary Maximum Expansion Areas
(PMEAs) has been proposed to generate all proper islanding scenarios in the simplified graph. The New-
tonRaphson power flow method and QV modal analysis have been used to evaluate the steady state
stability of the islands in each generated scenario. Binary Imperialistic Competitive Algorithm (BICA)
has then been applied to minimize total load-generation mismatch considering no-isolated bus, voltage
permitted range and static voltage stability constraints. Comprehensive discussions have been provided
using the simulations on NPCC 68-bus test system. The results demonstrate the speed, effectiveness andcapability of the proposed strategy to generate fast feasible splitting solutions considering static and
dynamic stability.

Introduction
Power industry restructuring and competition in the deregu-
lated electricity markets in order to provide increased consump-
tion causes operation of large power systems close to their
stability margins. Although an interconnected power system may
be stable against small disturbances, wide area contingencies
may cause the system to lose stability and lead to the catastrophic
wide area blackouts. Hence, splitting is the final action to preventcascading failures. Power system islanding procedures will have to
determine two important issues[1]:
1. When to split
Islanding starts exactly after separating detection. In recent
years, many different techniques have been proposed to detect
the interconnected power system splitting.
2. Where to split
Many wide area blackouts such as 2003 Italy [2], 2003 Sweden
Denmark[3], 2003 United States and Canada [4], 2005 JavaBali
[5], 2009 Brazil and Paraguay [6], July 2012 India blackout [7]
may have been prevented and load-generation mismatch may
have been reduced by fast, accurate, feasible controlled splitting
strategies[811]. Controlled intentional islanding separates a bulk
power system into a number of stable islands by tripping selectedtransmission lines according to the minimum load-generation mis-
match [12]. Hence, once separation is detected, the most important
step is to find the optimal splitting points. In the literature, several
approaches have been proposed to split a large power system into
several stable sections following a wide area contingency. These
procedures can be divided into two general categories. The first
one is based on the coherent generators clustering and the second
one is based on the network graph theory.

Islanding based on coherent generators clustering
In the literature, there are mainly two clustering methodology:
The first one identifies coherent machines through a time-domain
simulation according to the dynamic behavior of each generator
due to specific disturbance. Hence, the machines with similar rotor
angle or speed curves are assumed to be coherent. Slow coherency
theory as a two-time-scale method is a driven force behind the first
procedure. It is based on the power system oscillations which can
be classified into two modes; local or intra-area modes in the 1
3 Hz range and inter-area modes less than 1 Hz [13]. The machines
with the same inter-area mode swing together and they are called
coherent in the selected inter-area modes[14]. In[15], the coher-
ent groups are determined through the Empirical Mode Decompo-
sition (EMD) and Stochastic Subspace Identification (SSI) method.
In this method, the generator rotor speed prepared from the Wide
Area Measurement System (WAMS) is only used to cluster the
coherent machines. In[16], a novel approach based on the correla-
tion characteristics of the generator rotor angle oscillation is pre-
sented to identify the coherent machines. In proposed scheme,
the correlation coefficients of generators are assessed by online
measurement of rotor angle oscillations. In[1720], a slow coher-
ency method has been applied to cluster the coherent generators of
an interconnected power network. The mathematical background
of slow coherency theory and selective modal analysis can be
found in[21].
In[12], the slow coherency theory is used to obtain the desired
generator groups. Angle Modulated Particle Swarm Optimization
(AMPSO) is then used to find a number of candidate scenarios that
provide optimal static and dynamic characteristics. In[2123], the
coherent machines have been clustered by the slow coherency the-
ory. A spanning tree based Breadth First Search (BFS) algorithm is
then used to find all proper islanding scenarios. This method
reduces the large initial search space of the integrated power sys-
tems islanding to the boundary branches. The proposed islanding
strategy determines the best separating points according to the
minimum load shedding. In[25,26],the Krylov projection methodhas been used to cluster the coherent machines. A spanning tree
based Depth First Search (DFS) algorithm has then been used to
find all candidate solutions in reduced search space. In [27], the
slow coherency based grouping is used to provide the primary
dynamic criteria. An automatic islanding program is then applied
to find the optimal cutsets to form the isolated stable islands con-
sidering minimum load-generation mismatch. All generators clus-
tering techniques reduce the large search space of the islanding
from the entire system to the boundary interface network signifi-
cantly. The slow coherency based islanding has two important
advantages [2124,27].
1. Slow coherency based clustering is independent of the size,
type and location of the disturbance. Hence, it is possible todesign a defensive splitting strategy before a wide area
disturbance.
2. Slow coherency based clustering is independent of the genera-
tor model details. So, the classical model can be used.
Islanding based on network graph theory
An interconnected power system can be interpreted as a simple
two-dimensional graph. The inputs are nodes and branches. In real
power system,the numberof nodes andbranches increaseconsider-
ably. Hence, the bulk power system splitting will have a large initial
search space. In some literature, the scenario reduction techniques
based on graph simplification have been proposed. In [1], Source
Node Expansion (SNE) algorithm based on slowcoherency has beenproposed to split a simplified power network. The SNE initiates
expansion from a source node to the connect loads until desired
power balance be met. When all sources were expanded, optimal
cutsets can be determined using the adjacency matrix. In[28], an
OBDD-based three-phase method has been proposed to find proper
islanding solutions of interconnected power systems. A time-based
layered structure has then been introduced to demonstrate the
capability of the proposed strategy. The feasibility of this method
has been studied by means of power system transient simulations
in [29]. In [30], a novel approach based on the minimal cutsets with
minimum net flow has been proposed to split the large power sys-
tem into several stable sections following a severe disturbance. In
[31],a three-phase multilevel partitioning scheme has been used
to split the entire network graph. The Greedy growing and KL algo-
rithm have then been applied to find the optimal scenario. In[32],
the slow coherency algorithm has been applied to cluster coherent
generators. Then, a multi-level graph partitioning has been pro-
posed to split the reduced network graph into desired islands with
minimum generation-load mismatch. In [33], an Ant SearchMecha-
nism (ASM) based on linear programming and DC power flow has
been proposed to identify proper splitting pointsconsidering power
balance and line overloading constraints. In[34], a Mixed Integer
Linear Programming (MILP) algorithm has been proposed to deter-
mine optimal islanding scenario. The steady-state DC power flow
equations and operating limits such as line losses, transmission
capacity constraint and generation limits have been considered to
minimize total load shedding. Then, an AC optimal load shedding
problem has been solved in islanded system to provide a scenario
that satisfies AC power flow.
To achieve a fast practical islanding solution which satisfies all
the steady state and dynamic constraints within the islands is an
arduous challenge. A fast scenario generator algorithm is necessary
due to the inherent real-time application of islanding strategies in
which a feasible solution is needed to guarantee the stable opera-
tion of islands. In the literature, there are remarkable efforts on
defensive separating of power systems. However, there are still
some unsolved problems to satisfy the static and dynamic voltage
stabilities of islands and reduce the risk of their partial blackouts.This paper develops a real-time strategy for fast, proper, accurate
and feasible islanding decision making which can guarantee the
voltage security margin, steady state and dynamic stabilities of
islands and prevent their partial blackout. Another unique feature
of proposed scenario generator algorithm is its capability of ana-
lyzing the steady state stability of each island independent of the
other islands, since the PMEA of each island has been considered
in primary line and bus data matrices. Therefore, if there are N
coherent independent clusters, it will be possible to break one
complex optimization process into N computationally efficient
problems and reduce the average calculation time, significantly.
In the current paper, the large initial search space of the sepa-
rating strategy has been reduced to only smaller interface network
by aggregating the coherent machines and simplifying the networkgraph. Backward Elimination Method (BEM) based on Primary
Maximum Expansion Areas (PMEAs) is then proposed to generate
all proper islanding scenarios in the simplified power network.
The NewtonRaphson power flow and QV modal analysis have
been used to assess the steady state stability of the islands in each
generated scenario. Binary Imperialistic Competitive Algorithm
(BICA) is applied to minimize total load-generation mismatch con-
sidering integrity, voltage permitted range and static voltage sta-
bility constraints.
The rest of the current paper is organized as follows: Section
Problem formulation presents the problem formulation. The pro-
posed splitting strategy has been provided in Section Proposed
controlled islanding strategy. Section Simulation results and dis-
cussions contains the simulation results and discussion. Finally,conclusion appears in Section Conclusion.

Problem formulation
Objective function
The amount of power mismatch affects the network frequency.
If active generation increases, the frequency will be increased else
if active load increases, the frequency will be decreased. It will be
necessary to maintain the islands frequency in an acceptable limitby minimizing the active power imbalance between load and gen-
eration. Hence, the following objective function is defined to min-
imize total load-generation mismatch.
Objective Function MinXnislandi1
PGisland i PLisland i ! 1
where PGislandi is the total active generation of ith island, PLislandi
the total active load ofith island and nislandis the number of islands.
PGisland i XNGim1
PGim 2
PLisland i XNLin1
PLin 3
In relations (2) and (3), PGi m and PLi n are the active generation of
themth machine and the active consumption of thenth load inith
island, respectively.
Constraints
The criteria for finding proper stable islanding scenarios can be
summarized as follows [12,33].
No-isolated bus (integrity)
The islanding process must not eliminate any bus from primary
integrated power system. All buses inside each island must be con-
nected to each other to form some integrated areas.
Voltage permitted range
The voltage magnitude must be limited in an acceptable range
as following relation:
Vmini

magnitude of the sensitivity cannot evaluate the voltage security
margin and stability degree. Hence, the QV modal analysis is used
to determine the voltage stability indices. Therefore:
JR nKg 10
In (10),nand g are the right and left eigenvector matrices of theJR, respectively. The K matrix consists of the eigenvalues of the
reduced Jacobian matrix. From Eq.(10):
J1R nK1g 11
Substituting in Eq. (9), the relation between incremental change
in bus voltage magnitude and incremental change in bus reactive
power injection can be rewritten as(12) and (13):
DV nK1gDQ 12
And
DVXi
nigiki
DQ 13
In(13),k i is theith eigenvalue, ni is the ith column of the right
eigenvector matrix and gi is the ith row of the left eigenvectormatrix. Since:
g n1 14
Therefore:
gDV K1gDQ 15
The vectors of the modal voltage variation and the modal reac-
tive power variation are defined as(16) and (17), respectively:
v gDV 16
q gDQ 17
Eq.(18)can be written as:
vi qi=ki 18
Ifk i > 0, the voltage and the reactive power variation of the ith
PQ bus are along the same direction and the system is stable. If
ki < 0, the voltage and the reactive power variation of the ith PQ
bus are along opposite directions and the system is unstable. If
ki 0, theith modal voltage collapses.
Coherency criterion
All machines in each island should remain in synchronism to
increase the dynamic stability of the created islands. Two non-
coherent generators must not be connected to each other. As
shown inFig. 1, two independent coherent groups should be iso-
lated by trippingij transmission line.
Proposed controlled islanding strategy
Coherent generators grouping
In this paper, the slow coherency based aggregating has been
applied on NPCC 68-bus test system to guarantee the dynamic

stability of the created islands following a severe disturbance.
Coherency analysis as a scenario reduction technique can reduce
the computational burden of the stability studies and limit the
huge initial search space of the intentional separating to only smal-
ler interface network.
Proposed network graph simplification
In an interconnected power system with thousands of busesand branches, the islanding search space grows exponentially.
However, the graph simplification without losing the useful infor-
mation can reduce the calculation time, significantly. In graph the-
ory, the degree of a bus is the number of the branches connected to
it. The bus type can be classified into three categories; load bus,
generation bus and transfer bus. The bus with load and no gener-
ator is called load bus. The bus with generator and no load is called
generation bus and the bus with no load and generator is called
transfer bus. As shown inFig. 2, C is a degree two transfer bus. If
AC transmission line is closed, x(i) will be equal to 1, else, it will
be zero. Similarly, if C-B transmission line is closed, x(j) will be
equal to 1, else, it will be zero. The number of islanding scenarios
can be reduced by consideringx(i) =x(j).
As shown in Fig. 3, the binary states of the parallel transmissionlines between A and B can be considered to be identical. In other
words, all parallel branches between A and B are either connected
(1) or disconnected (0).
Determination of interface boundary network
Following the aggregation of the coherent machines and the
simplification of the network graph, it is important to determine
the types of the branches and buses to obtain the interface bound-
ary network and limit the search space from entire system to the
boundaries. The interface network between each area with other
adjacent areas is called boundary or probabilistic network which
consists of boundary or probabilistic branches and buses. Hence,
the branches or buses that are not boundary are called non-bound-
ary or deterministic branches or buses, respectively. In a large
power network, the branches and buses are classified into two cat-
egories as fallows:
Deterministic or non-boundary areas
The branches which connect coherent generators should be
closed. In other words, the islanding strategy is not allowed toopen these branches. If multiple trajectories exist to connect two
coherent machines, a path will be selected that none of its
branches can be considered as a boundary line. If the generators
Gi andGj are not coherent, the ij branch must be opened. Also,
the faulted transmission lines must be tripped. These branches
have non-boundary or deterministic states in power system islan-
ding studies. The buses connected to non-boundary lines are called
deterministic buses.
Probabilistic or boundary area
All of the branches which are not deterministic are called prob-
abilistic branches. The buses that are connected to the probabilistic
lines are called boundary buses.
Principles of proposed Backward Elimination Method
In this section, a novel probabilistic search strategy denoted as
Backward Elimination Method based on Primary Maximum Expan-
sion Areas is proposed for generating all proper separating scenar-
ios according to coherent groups and simplified network graph.
The NewtonRaphson power flow method and QV modal analysis
have been used to evaluate the steady-state stability of the islands
in each generated scenario. Binary Imperialistic Competitive Algo-
rithm is then applied to minimize the load-generation active
power mismatch considering integrity; voltage permitted range
and static voltage stability as optimization problem constraints.

In order to apply the BEM based on PMEAs as a defensive islanding
strategy, the following steps should be carried out sequentially.
Determination of the Primary Maximum Expansion Areas
The Primary Maximum Expansion Area of the island A consistsof deterministic buses of island A, deterministic branches of island
A and boundary network considering isolated islands constraint.
As shown in Fig. 4, there are three coherent groups named A, B
and C and colored by red, blue and green, respectively. The bound-
ary or probabilistic interface network has been shown with purple.
The Primary Maximum Expansion Area of the island A has been
determined as a gray area by considering the islands
independence.
Formation of the probabilistic line and bus data matrices considering
PMEAs
The primary line data matrices of the islands will have probabi-
listic nature due to the boundary transmission lines. After number-
ing all buses and determining the slack bus in each island (Theslack bus must not belong to the set of the boundary buses)
considering PMEAs of the islands, the primary probabilistic line
data matrix will be formed for each island as follows. For the kth
boundary branch connectingith andjth buses of island A, we can
use:
Zi;j 1 xkMZ0i;j 19
xk 0 if thekth boundary branch has been opened
1 if thekth boundary branch has been closed
20
Z0i;j Ri;j jXi;j 21
Z(i,j) is the impedance of the transmission line i to j in primary
probabilistic line data matrix of island A. Mis a sufficiently large
constant. Z0(i,j), R(i,j) and X(i,j) are the impedance, resistance
and reactance of ij transmission line in per unit, respectively.
According to (20), x(k) shows the state of the kth probabilistic
branch. In a generated scenario, the primary probabilistic line datamatrix can be updated as follows. If x(k) = 0, the kth boundary

branch is opened andZ(i,j) ffi M. Ifx(k) = 1 thekth boundary branch
is closed and Z(i,j) =Z0(i,j).
Once all buses of each island have been numbered and the slack
buses of the islands have been determined (The slack bus must not
belong to the set of the boundary buses), the probabilistic bus data
matrix will be formed for each island according to PMEA of island.
In order to generate proper splitting solutions, it is necessary to
update the probabilistic bus data matrices of the islands in eachgenerated scenario. Hence, if the ith bus of the island A (that is a
boundary bus) is removed from island A to island B, the ith bus
of island A will be eliminated from the probabilistic bus data
matrix of this island through a Bus-Trajectory matrix. In other
words, for each generated scenario, the probabilistic bus datamatrix which is formed based on the PMEA of the island A will
be updated across the Bus-Trajectory matrix of this island. The
Bus-Trajectory matrix of the island A can be formed as follows. If
the ith bus of the island A is a deterministic or non-boundary
bus, the ith row of the Bus-Trajectory matrix of island A will be
equal to 1. In other words, BTAi 1. If the ith bus of island A is
a probabilistic or boundary bus, the ith row of the Bus-Trajectory
matrix of island A can be calculated via the following steps.
1. All probabilistic trajectories which connect theith probabilistic
bus of island A to the deterministic network of this island
should be determined.
2. A trajectory which connects theith bus of island A to the deter-
ministic network of this island through boundary branches can
be considered as the multiplication of the binary states of these
probabilistic branches.

trajectories in previous step (which connect the ith probabilistic
bus of island A to the deterministic network of this island) is
calculated as theith row of the Bus-Trajectory matrix of island
A.
InFig. 5, there are three coherent groups named A, B and C. The3rd and 7th buses of island C are deterministic and probabilistic
buses, respectively. Therefore, the 3rd and 7th rows of Bus-

respectively. The primary probabilistic bus data matrix of island A
can be updated as fallows. IfBTA(i) = 0, theith bus of island A will
be removed from this island. IfBTA(i) 0, the ith bus of island A
will belong to this island.
BEM, PMEAs and BICA based optimization
The BEM, PMEAs and BICA based optimization program is
applied to minimize total load-generation mismatch. The steadystate stability can be evaluated in each island using Newton
Raphson power flow program and QV modal analysis for each
generated scenario. The integrity, voltage permitted range andsteady-state voltage stability constraints have been considered in
the optimization process.
The coherent generators should be clustered based on the slow
coherency theory. The proposed graph simplification is then
performed. The deterministic areas and the interface boundary
network have then been determined according to the coherent
machines, deterministic and probabilistic buses and branches.
The PMEAs of the islands can be determined to form the
primary probabilistic line and bus data matrices. For each
generated scenario, the primary probabilistic line and bus data
matrices are updated through the Bus-Trajectory matrices. Then,
NewtonRaphson power flow and QV modal analysis have been
performed based on the updated line and bus data matrices in each
island. All of the controlled islanding constraints are then checked.If one of them is not met, the new scenario will be generated;
otherwise the load-generation power mismatch will be calculated
to find the best solution vector. The flowchart of the proposed opti-
mal intentional islanding strategy has been shown inFig. 6.
Simulation results and discussions
In order to demonstrate the speed, effectiveness and capability
of the proposed strategy, the NPCC 68-bus test system is used. One
line diagram and initial operating point of this system has been
given in[37].
The NewtonRaphson power flow has been performed undernormal operating condition. Total active load and generation are

equal to 184.0873 and 182.3390 per unit, respectively. The simula-
tion results consist of three sections.
Slow coherency based clustering
Under normal operating condition, the coherent generators can
be identified based on the slow coherency scheme. InTable 1, all
modes, frequency and damping of the NPCC 68-bus system have
been shown. According toTable 2, there are five inter-area modes
in this system.
A compass plot of the rotor angle terms of the eigenvectors in
the 3rd inter-area mode is shown in Fig. 7. According to rotor angle
terms, five coherent groups {G1,G2,G3,G4,G5,G6,G7,G8,G9},
{G10,G11,G12,G13}, {G14}, {G15}, {G16}, have been formed.
Graph simplification and determination of interface boundary network
A solid three-phase fault occurs on one of transmission lines
connecting bus 930 close to bus 9 at t= 1.0 s and is cleared after
0.3 s by removing the transmission lines 930. Another contin-
gency is occurred on the branch 127 at t= 1.3 s and this branch
will be opened. The voltage profile following given contingencies
and the simplified network graph with boundary network have
been shown inFigs. 8 and 9, respectively.
BEM, PMEA and BICA based optimization
The search space will have 221 = 2, 097, 152 possible solutions.
The best solution vector and load-generation mismatch in five
areas have been reported in Tables 3 and 4, respectively. According
to Table 4, the total generation (201.207 per unit) is larger than the
total load (182.689 per unit), thus load shedding is not necessary.
The total minimum power mismatch is 18.5188 per unit which lost
in transmission systems. The optimal islanded NPCC 68-bus power
system has been shown inFig. 10.
Voltage profiles of five islands have been shown inFigs. 11 and
12. The static voltage stability indices of islands have been shown

busesof area 1 whichare similar to the 22nd, 21st and 20thbuses of
area 4 and 39th, 38thand42ndbusesof area 5,belongto the island 4.
The 3rd, 4th,5th and 6th buses ofthe area3 which are similarto the
26th, 25th, 28th and 27th buses of the area 4 belongto the island 3.
The 17th, 18th and 19th buses of the area 4 which are similar
to the 37th, 36th and 35th buses of the area 5 belong to the
island 5. According to Fig. 9, the PQ buses in island 1, 3, 4, 5
are {3, 4, 5, 6, 7}, {3, 4, 5, 6}, {4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 15, 17, 18,
19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28} and {3, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13,
14, 15, 16, 17, 19, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 28, 29, 30, 31, 33, 35, 36, 37,
38, 39, 40, 41, 42}, respectively. All stabilityindicesare positive and
the static voltage stability has been satisfied in each island.
As mentioned in the introduction section, the optimum separat-
ing points can be found by solving four optimization problems in
islands 1, 3, 4 and 5, sequentially or simultaneously. In this study,
the sequential method has been applied as follows.
The PMEA of the island 1 has been shown in Fig. 15. There are
five probabilistic branches and 32 scenarios in optimization pro-
cess of island 1. Therefore, the number of required initial countries,
imperialists and decades of the BICA and calculation time will be
decreased. In the obtained best scenario shown inFig. 15, the volt-
age permitted range and SVS criteria have not been satisfied for the
5th, 6th and 7th buses of the island 1. Hence, they are transferred
from island 1 to area 4. If in optimization process of area 4, the
voltage constraints are not satisfied for 20th, 21st and 22nd buses,they will again be transferred from island 4 to area 5.
The PMEA and the optimum separating point of the area 3 with
16 solutions have been shown inFig. 16. It is not necessary to trip
any boundary branch for optimal isolation of Section Proposed
controlled islanding strategy. According to the best solutions of
the islands 1 and 3, the reduced interface network of the subsys-
tem 4 will have 256 possible solutions. As shown in Fig. 17,it will
optimally become an isolated area by tripping the 217 transmis-
sion lines based on the obtained optimal solution. Finally, the 5th
island will have 32 possible scenarios. Based on the obtained best
scenario shown in Fig. 18, it is not necessary to trip any probabilis-
tic branch for defensive separation of Section Conclusion. All con-
straints in the optimization process of the island 5 have been met.
Hence, the optimization problems have been implemented in avery short time as a result of the fast convergence of each process
within first iteration.
As shown inFigs. 1518, total search space will have 336 pos-
sible scenarios in five optimization problems. In order to prove
the practicability of the proposed fast strategy, the calculation time
has been compared with OBDD, ASM and ST-BFS methods in
Table 5.
According to above table, the proposed algorithm is computa-
tionally efficient and fast.
Similar to the previous scheme, the four optimization programs
can be implemented considering Primary Maximum Expansion
Areas of islands instead of their reduced interface boundary net-
works in simultaneous method. There are 32, 16, 214 = 16,384
and 210
= 1024 scenarios in four splitting search spaces,respectively.

Conclusion
Power industry restructuring and competition in the deregu-lated electricity markets in order to provide increased consump-
tion causes operation of large power systems close to their
stability margins. If there is no emergency corrective control to
resynchronize all generators and prevent fault spreading, occur-
rence of large disturbance may cause the system to lose stability
and even lead to the wide area blackout. Hence, defensive
Separation of bulk power system as a comprehensive real-time
decision making is the last defense line against passive collapse
of system.
This paper introduces a novel strategy for separation of inter-
connected power systems following severe disturbances. In this
paper, the slow coherency based aggregation and graph simplifica-
tion as two scenario reduction techniques have been used to
reduce the large initial search space of the islanding strategy from
entire network to only smaller interface boundary network. Then,
Backward Elimination Method (BEM) based on Primary Maximum
Expansion Areas (PMEAs) has been proposed to generate all fast,
proper and feasible islanding scenarios in the simplified systemby transferring some of the boundary buses in one island to
another island such that total mismatch is minimized. The New-
tonRaphson power flow method and QV modal analysis have
been used to evaluate the steady-state stability of the islands in
each generated scenario. The Binary Imperialistic Competitive
Algorithm (BICA) has then been applied to minimize total load-
generation mismatch considering integrity, voltage permitted
range and static voltage stability constraints. The proposed sce-
nario generator algorithm generates each possible islanding solu-
tion in an average calculation time less than 0.1 s and evaluates
the static voltage stability of the PQ buses based on QV modal
analysis in each generated solution. The results demonstrate the
speed, effectiveness and capability of the proposed scheme to gen-
erate fast practical splitting solutions considering static and
dynamic stability.
