The Under Voltage Load Shedding (UVLS) is an important part of the third line of defense for power system safety and stability, and a load shedding scheme is an important part of research. Induction motors are the main cause of grid voltage collapse and the main load of under voltage load shedding. Based on distribution network and the active features, reactive features and rotor motion equations of induction motor, a time-domain simulation by a Matlab construction model shows that the induction motor self-starts after under voltage load shedding. When taking the induction motor as a load shedding object, the maximum allowable amount of self-starting is closely related to the minimum load reduction. A method for calculating the load shedding based on maximum self-starting amount configuration of the node motor is proposed. The load reduction per wheel is calculated by the maximum self-starting amount of the node motor at different initial rotational speeds. Considering the effect of load shedding speed on voltage stability, an acceleration criterion based on voltage change rate can be introduced in each round of load shedding, so as to selectively accelerate the removal load. Finally, the traditional and the proposed load shedding strategy are simulated and compared. The proposed method can effectively control the load shedding and ensure that the node voltage stabilizes rapidly, thus ensuring the safe and stable operation of the system and important motor loads.
