Low Frequency Oscillations (LFO) occur in power systems because of lack of the damping torque in order to dominance to power system disturbances as an example of change in mechanical input power. In the recent past Power System Stabilizer (PSS) was used to damp LFO. FACTs devices, such as Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC), can control power flow, reduce sub-synchronous resonance and increase...

In the Modern Power System Scenario, Power System damping controllers are widely used in industry to damp the Low Frequency Inertial Oscillations experienced due to disturbance in the System. In this paper, an Swarm intelligence based Algorithm namely Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm (PSO) is implemented to compute the Optimal value of the damping controller parameters to enhance Small sig...

The Bacterial Foraging (BF) is a global optimization algorithm that imitates the foraging behavior of Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria. Foraging habit of individuals and groups of E. coli bacteria for nutrients is modeled as a distributed optimization process. This paper applies this powerful algorithm to design an optimal controller for a single-machine-infinite-bus (SMIB) system equipped w...

A Power System consists of the generating machines and transmission network in which the generating machine includes turbine, alternator and excitation system. Every synchronous generator has rotating rotor which has some inertia that depends upon the stored rotating energy in the system. There are various types of disturbances which are occurring on the power system. A stable power system shou...

The objective of the Power System Stabilizer (PSS) is added to excitation system to enhance the damping during low frequency oscillations. This paper presents a comparison study of Simulated Annealing and fast output sampling based power system stabilizer (PSS) for stability enhancement. Conventional Power system stabilizers (CPSSs) are designed with the phase compensation technique in the freq...

Abstract Large‐scale penetration of renewable resource based generation will displace conventional synchronous machine‐based power generation. This lower the overall system inertia and result in short circuit levels at point connection (POC) resources. Renewable resources such as wind solar photovoltaic (PV) are interfaced to via electronic inverters. Operation inverter‐based equipment under lo...

Power system transient stability is a challenge when integrating large-scale wind turbines into weak grids. This paper addresses the issue of transient stability in such situations by optimizing a wind turbine’s active current behavior. A wind turbine’s active current reference controller and its setting optimization method are proposed based on analyses of two associated problems: the mechanis...

Enhancement of stability of the power system has been achieved by the application of Unified power flow controller (UPFC) device with an additional supplementary controller. This supplementary damping controller can be installed on any control channel of the UPFC inputs to implement the task of power oscillation damping (POD) controller. We have presented a comprehensive assessment and performe...

Complex nonlinear phenomena are investigated in a basic power system model of the single-machine-infinite-bus (SMIB) with a synchronous generator modeled by a classical third-order differential equation including both angle dynamics and voltage dynamics, the so-called flux decay equation. In contrast, for the second-order differential equation considering the angle dynamics only, it is the clas...

The aim of this paper is to examine the effect of inclusion of a linear quadratic Gaussian controller instead of the conventional AVR with the existence of a PSS for improving the dynamic stability of power system. The present work introduces a computational methodology that adopted a Linear Quadratic Gaussian (LQG) controller to control the generator. In this method the models of both the sync...
