In a developing country like Pakistan, where the electrical power demand is more than the generated
power, maintaining the power system stability is a big challenge. In such cases it becomes, thus, essential
to shed just the right amount of load to keep a power system stable. This paper presents a case study of
Pakistan’s power system where the generated power, the load demand, frequency deviation and the load
shed during a 24-h duration have been provided. The data have been analyzed using two techniques; the
conventional artificial neural network (ANN) by implementing feed forward back propagation model and
the Bootstrap aggregating or bagging algorithm. The simulation results reveal the superiority of the
Bootstrap aggregating algorithm over a conventional ANN technique using feed forward back propagation
model.
