Non-certainty Equivalent Adaptive Exciting Control of Multi-machine Power Systems

Transient stability problem for multi-machine infinite bus system with the generator excitation was addressed via the non-certainty equivalent nonlinear re-parameterization method. The system need not to be linearized. The damping coefficient uncertainty was considered. A non-certainty equivalent excitation controller and a novel parameter updating law were obtained simultaneously via adaptive backstepping and Lyapunov methods to achieve stability of the error systems. Simulation results showed that the proposed controller had good transient performance.
