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.

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).

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.

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.

Modern electric power system that many its dynamic equipment continuously vulnerable to internal and external disturbances. On the condition of the disorder, it often happen oscillation in each part or between parts of the electrical system is interconnected. These oscillations become a major problem for the stability of the power system. Modern electrical control systems require a sustainable balance between power generation and demand varying loads. Power System Stabilizer and Static Var Compensator is a control device that is used to dampen low frequency oscillations and to provide additional feedback signal to stabilize the system. To increase the damping, system equipped with PSS generator that provides additional feedback to stabilize the signal in the excitation system. It is generally that the machine parameters changed by the load, so the dynamic behavior of the different machines at different operating conditions. Design PIDPSS3B power system stabilizer and PIDSVC controller used aim to get performance and optimum damping. Design and optimization of the proposed has the ability to optimally dampen and suppress errors are minimal.

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 the large interconnected power system, maintaining the Small signal stability of the system is of more concern, for the stable, secure and reliable operation. This paper proposes an Improved Differential Evolution (DE) Algorithm based Optimal Power system stabilizer (PSS) for damping the low frequency oscillations. Enhancing the damping of system is formulated as the optimization problem. DE/Best Mutation Operator is adopted for producing the mutation vector, to augment the convergence rate of DE algorithm. The effectiveness of the proposed approach has been tested in Single Machine Infinite Bus (SMIB) system under different operating conditions. The time response evaluations has justified the superiority of the proposed approach for damping the oscillations and thereby improving the Small signal stability of the system.

Low frequency oscillation has been a major threat in large interconnected power system. These low frequency oscillations curtain the power transfer capability of the line. Power system stabilizer (PSS) helps in diminishing these low frequency oscillations by providing auxiliary control signal to the generator excitation input, thereby restoring stability of the system. In this chapter, the authors have incorporated the concept of oppositional based learning (OBL) along with differential search algorithm (DSA) to solve PSS problem. The proposed technique has been implemented on both single input and dual input PSS, and comparative study has been done to show the supremacy of the proposed techniques. The convergence characteristics as well authenticate the sovereignty of the considered algorithms.
