AI concepts for Demand Side Shedding Management in Libya

Demand side management is traditionally concerned with adjusting the load to meet generation to assist with stability, ratings or other constraints. However, in many countries, load outstrips generation and instead of managing the load, shedding the load is more common. This paper looks at a portion of the Libyan grid system which suffers from daily load shedding and explores if AI concepts can be used to intelligently manage the shedding of this load so that it is unnoticeable to consumers.
