In practical power systems, it is still very challenging to figure out a cost-effective undervoltage load shedding (UVLS) scheme that can reliably and adaptively react to the short-term voltage stability (SVS) problem. Faced with this challenge, this paper develops an intelligent data-driven predictive UVLS scheme for online SVS enhancement. Inspired by valuable ideas in model predictive control and supplementary excitation control in power systems, a novel deep feedback learning machine (DFLM) is designed to precisely predict future voltage violations after UVLS execution. With the help of the DFLM, the UVLS scheme is aware of potential effects of various candidate UVLS actions. Owing to this desirable nature, it can adaptively respond to diverse SVS conditions and optimize UVLS decisions in a non-iterative way. Further, two well-designed strategies, i.e., stepwise constraint relaxation and incremental DFLM adaptation, are introduced to enhance the scheme's reliability and adaptability during online application. Numerical test results on the Nordic test system and the realistic North GZ Power Grid in China showcase the excellent performances of the proposed scheme.
