when power systems are expanded and connected together with weak tie lines, the low-frequency oscillations are increased and the stability margin of the power system decreases. therefore, when designing the transmission system to be used, it is necessary to maintain the dynamic stability of the power system, and to make sure to have the most possible stability margin. sssc is a facts device con...

In this paper a new evolutionary computing method based on imperialist competitive algorithm (ICA) is used for tuning the parameters of a PID controller which is applied in a load frequency control system (LFC) in a multi area electric power system. If a large power imbalance is suddenly happened in a multi area power electric system, generation units and also consumer sides will be affected by...

A decentralized unscented Kalman filter (UKF) method based on a consensus algorithm for multi-area power system dynamic state estimation is presented in this paper. The overall system is split into a certain number of non-overlapping areas. Firstly, each area executes its own dynamic state estimation based on local measurements by using the UKF. Next, the consensus algorithm is required to perf...

The objective of this study is to deal with the problem of robust tuning of automatic voltage regulator (AVR) in multi-machine power system. This paper investigates the Model predictive control (MPC) strategy, analyses and compares the control effects with ProportionalIntegral-Derivative (PID) control strategy. The proposed PIDMPC method improved the stability of the power system with multiple ...

An artificial neural network can be used as an intelligent controller to control non-linear, dynamic system through learning. It can easily accommodate non-linearities and time dependencies. Most common multi-layer feed-forward neural networks have the drawbacks of large number of neurons and hidden layers required to deal with complex problems and require large training time. To overcome these...

Multi agent systems (MAS) are popularly used in practice, however; a few studies have looked at MAS capabilities from the power engineering perspective. This paper presents the results of an investigation concerning the compatibility of MAS capabilities in different power engineering categories. Five MAS capabilities and seven power system categories are established. A framework for applying MA...
