Abstract Power systems are subject to undesirable small oscillations that might grow to cause system shutdown and consequently great loss of national economy. The present manuscript proposes two designs for observer-based robust power system stabilizer (PSS) using Linear Matrix Inequality (LMI) approach to damp such oscillations. A model to describe power system dynamics for different loads is ...

An indirect adaptive fuzzy power system stabilizer (IDFPSS) is proposed in this paper. It consists of A fuzzy identifier and a feedback linearizing controller. The objective is to damp local and inter-area oscillations that occur following power system disturbance. The effectiveness of the proposed technique is illustrated by applying the IDFPSS to a two-area four-machine system that is typical...

This paper presents an approach for the design of fuzzy logic power system stabilizers using genetic algorithms. In the proposed fuzzy expert system, speed deviation and its derivative have been selected as fuzzy inputs. In this approach the parameters of the fuzzy logic controllers have been tuned using genetic algorithm. Incorporation of GA in the design of fuzzy logic power system stabilizer...

The main objective of this paper is to investigate the enhancement of power system stability via coordinated tuning of Power System Stabilizers (PSSs) in a multi-machine power system. The design problem of the proposed controllers is formulated as an optimization problem. Chaotic catfish particle swarm optimization (C-Catfish PSO) algorithm is used to minimize the ITAE objective function. The p...

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...

Power systems are subjected to low frequency disturbances that might cause loss of synchronism and an eventual breakdown of entire system. The oscillations, which are typically in the frequency range of 0.2 to 3.0 Hz, might be excited by the disturbances in the system or, in some cases, might even build up spontaneously. These oscillations limit the power transmission capability of a network an...

Abstract—Weak damping of low frequency oscillations is a frequent phenomenon in electrical power systems. These frequencies can be damped by power system stabilizers. Unified power flow controller (UPFC), as one of the most important FACTS devices, can be applied to increase the damping of power system oscillations and the more effect of this controller on increasing the damping of oscillations...

The problem of damping low frequency oscillations in the range of 0.2 – 3 Hz observed in power systems has been the major concern these days. Power System Stabilizers (PSS) are commonly used to damp these low frequency oscillations. The parameters of the PSS (gain, phase lead time constant) are tuned by considering the single machine connected to infinite bus system (SMIB). Tuning of these para...
