This paper proposes a simple design procedure to solve the problem of controlling generator transient stability following large disturbances in power systems. A state-feedback excitation controller and power system stabilizer are designed to guarantee robustness against uncertainty in the system parameters. These controllers ensure satisfactory swing damping and quick decay of the voltage regulation error over a wide range of operating conditions. The controller performance is evaluated in a case study in which a three-phase short-circuit fault near the generator terminals in a four-bus power system is simulated.

The basic aim of the power system stabilizer is to damp the fluctuations that occur on the rotating axis of the synchronous generator that result from noise or disturbance on the power system. This is achieved by producing an appropriate damping torque for these fluctuations across the excitation circuit of the generator and for a wide range of operation conditions. The study describes the types of power system stabilizers and giving an mathematical model of the power system that consists of a synchronous machine connected to the infinite bus though transmission lines. This has been achieved by simulating the electric and mechanical equations of power systems and proposing a methodological approach to design a Fuzzy Logic Power System Stabilize (FPSS) relaying in the design on the (Matlab/Fuzzy logic toolbox).Speed deviation (Δω) and acceleration (∆ώ) of the synchronous machine are chosen as the input signals to the fuzzy controller in order to achieve a good dynamic performance .The complete range for the variation of each of the two controller inputs is represented by a 7×7 decision table, i.e. 49 rules using proportional derivative like fuzzy logic. The power system (SMIB) was tested with the presence and absence of the excitation system, then (CPSS) was added, and then (FPSS).The simulation results of the proposed fuzzy logic on )SMIB( gave a better dynamic response, decreased the settling time and good performance of the stabilizer in damping the fluctuations that arise in the speed of rotation of the generator and its active power in various operating conditions when proposed (FPSS) is compared with conventional PSS. The simulation results proved the superior performance of the proposed (FPSS).

Abstract In this paper, a novel bacterial foraging algorithm (BFA) based approach for robust and optimal design of PID controller connected to power system stabilizer (PSS) is proposed for damping low frequency power oscillations of a single machine infinite bus bar (SMIB) power system. This paper attempts to optimize three parameters (Kp, Ki, Kd) of PID-PSS based on foraging behaviour of Escherichia coli bacteria in human intestine. The problem of robustly selecting the parameters of the power system stabilizer is converted to an optimization problem which is solved by a bacterial foraging algorithm with a carefully selected objective function. The eigenvalue analysis and the simulation results obtained for internal and external disturbances for a wide range of operating conditions show the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed BFAPSS. Further, the time domain simulation results when compared with those obtained using conventional PSS and Genetic Algorithm (GA) based PSS show the superiority of the proposed design.

Abstract The most cost-effective method to improve the damping of low frequency electromechanical oscillations in interconnected power systems is the use of Power System Stabilizers (PSS), which act as supplementary controllers in the generator excitation system. In general, the performance of a power system stabilizer depends on the proper tuning of its parameters, to ensure a positive contribution to the small signal stability of the power system, without negatively impacting its transient stability. This paper will discuss the different roles of the excitation system automatic voltage regulator and the power system stabilizer in improving the transient stability and the oscillatory stability of the power system. The focus of the paper will be on the tuning methodology for power system stabilizers, which can ensure a robust performance of the PSS over a wide range of frequencies and operating conditions. In addition, mathematical optimization techniques will be introduced into the tuning process to improve the efficiency and accuracy of the tuning process.

The design of a proportional, derivative, and integral (PID) based power system stabilizer (PSS) is carried out using the bat algorithm (BA). The design of proposed PID controller is considered with an objective function based on square error minimization to enhance the small signal stability of nonlinear power system for a wide range of operating conditions. Three benchmark power system models as single-machine infinite-bus (SMIB) power system, two-area four-machine ten-bus power system, and IEEE New England ten-machine thirty-nine-bus power system are considered to examine the effectiveness of the designed controller. The BA optimized PID based PSS (BA-PID-PSS) controller is applied to these benchmark systems, and the performance is compared with controllers reported in literature. The robustness is tested by considering eight plant conditions of each system, representing the wide range of operating conditions. It includes unlike loading conditions and system configurations to establish the superior performance with BA-PID-PSS over-the-counter controllers.

Abstract The design of power system stabilizer (PSS) is load-dependent and needs continuous adjustment at each operating condition. This paper aims at introducing a robust non-fragile PSS for interconnected power systems. The proposed controller has the capability of adaptively tuning online its rule-base through a variable-structure direct adaptive control algorithm in order to rigorously attain the desired objectives. The PSS controller acts on damping the electromechanical modes of oscillations not only through a wide range of operating conditions but also in presence of different disturbances. Using MATLABTM-Simulink, simulation results significantly verify that the proposed controller provides favorable performance and efficiently contributes towards enhancing the system dynamic behavior when applied to the four machines two-area power system that mimics the typical system behavior in actual operation. The interaction between the variable-structure adaptive fuzzy-based power system stabilizer (VS-AFPSS) and the existed typical ones inside the interconnected power systems has been explicitly discussed. Compared to other conventional controllers, VS-AFPSS enables better damping characteristics to both local and inter-area oscillation modes considering different operating conditions and sever disturbances.

In this article, an Oppositional Differential search algorithm (ODSA) is comprehensively developed and successfully applied for the optimal design of power system stabilizer (PSS) parameters which are added to the excitation system to dampen low frequency oscillation as it pertains to large power system. The effectiveness of the proposed method is examined and validated on a single machine infinite bus (SMIB) using the Heffron-Phillips model. The most important advantage of the proposed method is as it reaches toward the optimal solution without the optimal tuning of input parameters of the ODSA algorithm. In order to verify the effectiveness, the simulation was made for a wide range of loading conditions. The simulation results of the proposed ODSA are compared with those obtained by other techniques available in the recent literature to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed algorithm.

The main objective of this paper is to improve the critical clearing time of the Steel Plant 35 MW Turbo generator. In order to enhance the transient behavior of the system, Power System Stabilizer is added so that proper damping is done. Damping intra area and inter area oscillations are critical to optimal power flow and stability on a system. Power system stabilizer is an effective damping device, as they provide auxiliary control signals to the excitation system of the generator. Transient stability analysis was carried out for the Steel plant. The three phase to ground and line to ground fault was simulated. The critical clearing time was found to be more when Power System Stabilizer was added and when Power System Stabilizer was not added the critical clearing time has considerably reduced.

This paper studies the improvement of transient stability of a single-Machine Infinite-Bus (SMIB) power system using Proportional Derivative (PD) type Static Synchronous Series Compensator (SSSC) and damping controllers. The design problem has been considered as optimisation problem and a modified version of recently proposed Sine Cosine Algorithm (SCA) has been employed for determining the optimal controller parameters. Proposed modified SCA (mSCA) algorithm is first tested using bench mark test functions and compared with SCA, and other heuristic evolutionary optimization algorithms like Grey Wolf optimization (GWO), Particle Swarm optimization (PSO), Gravitational Search algorithm (GSA) and Differential Evolution algorithm to show its superiority. The proposed mSCA algorithm is then applied to optimize simultaneously the PD type lead lag controller parameters pertaining to SSSC and power system stabilizer(PSS). The proposed controller provides sufficient damping for power system oscillation in different operating conditions and disturbances. Results analysis reveal that proposed mSCA technique provides higher effectiveness and robustness in damping oscillations of the power system and increases the dynamic stability more.
