In the interconnected power system network, instability problems are caused mainly by the low frequency oscillations of 0.2 to 2.5 Hz .The supplementary control signal in addition with AVR and high gain excitation systems are provided by means of Power System Stabilizer (PSS). Conventional power system stabilizers provide effective damping only on a particular operating point. But fuzzy based P...

A Sliding Mode Controller (SMC) is adopted in this work with a Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) to employ instead of Power System Stabilizer (PSS). The major proposal is that the effective property of PID and high characteristics of SMC are combined to eliminate the chattering effect of SMC in order to generate best control signal to the excitation system. The robust design of SMC-PID has...

An important issue related to power system stability is to properly damp low frequency oscillations. Traditionally, these oscillations have been damped by means of power system stabilizers. In recent years, FACTS devices equipped with a power oscillation damper have been also efficiently used for damping oscillations. This paper is a tutorial for designing such power oscillation damper. The pap...

In this paper a Neural Networks (NN) is proposed for transient stability prediction. Transient stability of a power system is first determined based on the generator relative rotor angles procured from time domain simulation outputs. Simulations were carried out on a single machine infinite bus system by considering three phase short circuit fault on the system. The data collected from the time...

There is a vivid trend in engineering optimization problems towards the adoption of heuristic optimization algorithms to arrive at optimal solutions. This is mainly due to the simplicity of these algorithms and the great cut down of complicated mathematical manipulations that are required in other optimization theory methods. This paper demonstrates the application of an iterative heuristic opt...

This paper focuses on the application of a robust Fractional Order PID (FOPID) stabilizer tuned by Genetic Algorithm (GA). The system’s robustness is assured through the application of Kharitonov’s theorem to overcome the effect of system parameter’s changes within upper and lower limits. The FOPID stabilizer has been approximatedduring the optimization using the Oustaloup’s approximation for f...

The major concern in power systems has been the problem of low frequency oscillations (LFO) that results in the reduction of the power transfer capabilities. The applications of power system stabilizers (PSS) are commonly employed to dampen these low frequency oscillations. The parameters of the PSS are tuned by considering the Heffron-Phillips model of a single machine infinite bus system (SMI...
