This paper presents a novel indirect adaptive Power System Stabilizer (PSS) via a developed synergetic control methodology and fuzzy systems. Fuzzy system is utilized in an adaptive scheme to estimate the system using a nonlinear model. The synergetic control guarantees robustness of the controller and makes the controller easy to implement because of using a chatter free continuous control law...

Photovoltaic power plants usually do not provide reactive output; hence the application of large photovoltaics in systems will decrease voltage stability level system. Capacitor banks can to compensate photovoltaic plants; therefore, capacitor overcome deficiency plants. However, effect bank installation on system’s is unknown. Therefore, research aims investigate whether installing a capacitor...

This paper proposes a novel approach for coherent generators online clustering in a large power system following a wide area disturbance. An interconnected power system may become unstable due to severe contingency when it is operated close to the stability boundaries. Hence, the bulk power system controlled islanding is the last resort to prevent catastrophic cascading outages and wide area bl...

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 effect...
