Power system stabilizers (PSS) are now regularly used in the industry to damp out power system oscillations. High performance excitation system have become very important as limited generation capacity and consumer desires for power continue to increase. In this work, enhanced Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) technique is applied to design a robust power system stabilizer (PSS) in order to improve t...

In this paper, the optimal design of supplementary controller parameters of a unified powerflow controller(UPFC) for damping low-frequency oscillations in a weakly connected systemis investigated. The individual design of the UPFC controller, using hybrid particle swarmoptimization and gravitational search algorithm (PSOGSA)technique under 3 loadingoperating conditions, is discussed.

The objective of this study is to deal with the problem of robust tuning of automatic voltage regulator (AVR) in multi-machine power system. This paper investigates the Model predictive control (MPC) strategy, analyses and compares the control effects with ProportionalIntegral-Derivative (PID) control strategy. The proposed PIDMPC method improved the stability of the power system with multiple ...

–Low frequency electromechanical oscillations are inevitable characteristics of power systems and they greatly affect the transmission line transfer capability and power system stability. Traditionally, power system stabilizers (PSS) are being used to damp these oscillations. Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) is a well-known FACTS device that can control power flow in transmission lines. It ...

In this paper, simulation results using MATLAB / SIMULINK of conventional and fuzzy type both power system stabilizers are shown.

In this paper, multi objective design of multi-machine Power System Stabilizers (PSSs) using Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) is presented. The stabilizers are tuned to simultaneously shift the lightly damped and undammed electro-mechanical modes of all machines to a prescribed zone in the s-plane. A multi objective problem is formulated to optimize a composite set of objective functions compr...
