In large power systems, low frequency electro-mechanical oscillations often follow the electrical disturbances. Generally, power system stabilizers (PSS) are used in conjunction with Automatic Voltage Regulators (AVR) to damp out the oscillations. However, during some operating conditions this device may not produce adequate damping and other effective alterations are needed in addition to PSS....

Power systems are usually large non-linear systems, which are often subjected to low frequency electromechanical oscillations. Power System Stabilizers (PSSs) are often used as effective and economic means for damping the generators’ electromechanical oscillations and enhance the overall stability of power systems. Power system stabilizers have been applied for several decades in utilities and ...

The main asset of this paper is among the uses of fuzzy logic in the engineering sector and especially in the renewable energies as a large alternate of fossil energies, in this paper a PSO-based optimization is used to find the optimal scaling parameters, of a fuzzy logic-based MPPT controller, that maximize the efficiency of a photovoltaic pumping system. The tuning of input and output parame...

This paper introduces a fuzzy PI controller as a power system stabilizer. The fuzzy PI controller has been designed to prepare an auxiliary signal to the excitation system of the synchronous generator. The proposed controller utilizes a combination of a fuzzy logic controller (FLC) and a PI controller. In comparison with the conventional fuzzy controllers, the proposed fuzzy PI controller incor...

in this paper we continue development of formal theory of a special class offuzzy logics, called eq-logics. unlike fuzzy logics being extensions of themtl-logic in which the basic connective is implication, the basic connective ineq-logics is equivalence. therefore, a new algebra of truth values calledeq-algebra was developed. this is a lower semilattice with top element endowed with two binary...

higher education plays a very vital role in developing human resources as well as economic ones in every country. in so doing, the act of evaluation would help the decision makers as well as managers to spot the weaknesses to use the required provisions to work more effectively. the present study with a different approach toward the designing a comprehensive evaluation expert system using fuzzy...

in this paper, design and application of a new digital protective relay based on fuzzy logicand value estimation to a radial power system protection was presented. a novel approach based onvalue estimation was investigated for the proposed fuzzy logic based protective relay. in addition to thetheoretical aspect of fuzzy logic, mathematical definition of value estimation, detection andmeasuremen...

The main theme of this paper is to present novel controller, which is a genetic based fuzzy Logic controller, for interior permanent magnet synchronous motor drives with direct torque control. A radial basis function network has been used for online tuning of the genetic based fuzzy logic controller. Initially different operating conditions are obtained based on motor dynamics incorporating...
