this paper presents a method for damping of low frequency oscillations (lfo) in a power system. the powersystem contains static synchronous series compensators (sssc) which using a chaotic harmony searchalgorithm (chsa), optimizes the lead-lag damping stabilizer. in fact, the main target of this paper isoptimization of selected gains with the time domain-based objective function, which is solve...

Unified power flow controller (UPFC), as one of the most important FACTS devices, can be used to increase the damping of power system oscillation. The effect rate of this controller on increasing oscillation damping depends on the appropriate selection of input controlling signal, optimal selection of UPFC controlling parameters, and its proper position in power system. In this paper, the capab...

This paper focuses on multi-objective designing of multi-machine Thyristor Controlled Series Compensator (TCSC) using Strength Pareto Evolutionary Algorithm (SPEA). The TCSC parameters designing problem is converted to an optimization problem with the multi-objective function including the desired damping factor and the desired damping ratio of the power system modes, which is solved by a SPEA ...

To enhance the inertial response and damping capability during transient events this paper investigates an improved active power control for variable speed wind turbines. The optimized power point tracking (OPPT) controller, which swings the turbine operating point from the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) curve to the virtual inertia control (VIC) curves by the frequency deviation, is propo...

A method for multiple mode piezoelectric shunt damping will be presented in this paper. The proposed \current owing" shunt controller has a number of bene ts compared to previous shunt damping schemes; it is simpler to implement and requires small number of passive circuit elements. The passive control strategy is validated through experimentation on two piezoelectric laminated structures. c 20...

This paper concerns the optimization and coordination of the conventional FACTS (Flexible AC Transmission Systems) damping controllers in multimachine power system. Firstly, the parameters of FACTS controller are optimized. Then, a hybrid fuzzy logic controller for the coordination of FACTS controllers is presented. This coordination method is well suitable to series connected FACTS devices lik...

Original scientific paper This paper presents a heuristic algorithm PSO based simultaneous coordinated tuning of the SVC damping controller and power system stabilizer (PSS) in a two machine three bus power system. The coordinated tuning of PSS and SVC damping controller is converted to an optimization problem which is solved by particle swarm optimization (PSO) technique. The parameters like r...

This paper presents an entirely new tuning method of PI controller with a desired damping coefficient. We consider a plant model described by a first-order lag plus deadtime system in the process control. The ultimate sensitivity method presented by Ziegler and Nichols has been still widely used, but it has a disadvantage that gives an oscillatory response. In recent years a less oscillatory re...

Power system stabilizer (PSS) and flexible AC transmission system (FACTS) damping controller to improve the stability of the power system has been widely used. A coordinated control method based on the combined computational evolutionary theory is proposed to overcome some of damping controllers simultaneously so as to keep the allowable level of power system damping. It works by making full us...
