Voltage stability has become a serious threat of modern power system operation nowadays. To
tackle this problem properly, load shedding is a countermeasure taken as a last resort. However,
its
consequences might result in huge technical and economic losses. Therefore, this control measure should be
optimally and carefully carried out. This paper proposes Cuckoo search with Levy flights (CSwLF) based
algorithm for solving the optimal load sh
edding problem. The amount of load shedding at each bus is
determined by applying CSwLF to solve a nonlinear optimization problem formulated in the optimal power flow
framework. The performance of the proposed CSwLF based method is tested on the operating
conditions of
