Use of Pareto optimisation for tuning power system stabilizers The paper presents a method for determining sets of Pareto optimal solutions (compromise sets) - parameter values of PSS3B system stabilizers working in a multi-machine power system - when optimising different multidimensional criteria. These criteria are determined for concrete disturbances when taking into account transient waveforms of the instantaneous power, angular speed and terminal voltage of generators in one, chosen generating unit or in all units of the system analysed. The application of multi-criteria methods allows taking into account the optimisation process of power system stabilizer (PSS) parameters, many sometimes contradictory requirements (criteria) without losing ability to reach the optimal solution. A choice of the compromise solution can be made by assuming the values of the weighting coefficients associated with particular components of the vector criterion and determining the equivalent, global criterion. A change of the values of those weighting coefficients in the equivalent criterion does not require, in the case of the Pareto optimization, carrying out repeated calculations.

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.

Abstract The paper presents investigation results concerning assessment of the Polish Power System (PPS) angular stability based on power system state matrix eigenvalues associated with electromechanical phenomena, when using the angular stability factors calculated on the basis of these eigenvalues. The eigenvalues were calculated by analysis of the disturbance waveforms of the instantaneous power, angular speed and power angle of synchronous generators in PPS generating units when taking into account introduction of a disturbance to different units. There was assumed a disturbance in the form of a rectangular pulse introduced to the voltage regulation system of a generating unit. There was also analysed the effect of the duration of the introduced test disturbance on the calculation results of the eigenvalue influencing the measurement waveforms of the instantaneous power of generating unit no 5 in Rybnik Power Plant. The method for eigenvalue calculations used in the investigations consists in approximation of the disturbance waveforms in particular generating units with the use of the waveforms being a superposition of the modal components associated with the searched eigenvalues. The hybrid optimisation algorithm being a serial combination of the genetic and gradient algorithms was used for computations

In this present work, a new metaheuristic method called a Harris hawk optimizer (HHO) is applied to achieve the optimal design of a power system stabilizer (PSS) in a multimachine power system. Several well-known chaos maps are incorporated into the HHO to form a chaotic HHO (CHHO) with the aim of improving static operators and enhancing global searching. To assess the CHHO performance, exhaustive comparison studies are made between anticipated chaotic maps in handling unconstrained mathematical problems. At this moment, The PSS design problem over a wide permutation of loading conditions is formulated as a non-linear optimization problem. The adopted objective function defines the damping ratio of lightly damped electromechanical modes subject to a set of constraints. The best PSS parameters are generated by the proposed CHHO. The applicability of the proposed CHHO based on PSS is examined and demonstrated on a 10-generator and 39-bus multimachine power system model. The performance assessments of the CHHO results are realized by a comparative study with HHO through extensive simulations along with further eigenvalue analysis to prove its efficacy. The simulation results convincingly demonstrate the high performance of the proposed CHHO-PSS under various operating scenarios.

<p> The dynamics in single machine been connected to an infinite power system bus is analyzed in this paper. This analysis requires certain amount of system modeling level. The main components of the system models are excitation system, synchronous machine and the Power System Stabilizer. The Simulink /Matlab are used as the programming tool for analyzing this system performance. Design optimization arobust PSS based on Genetic Algorithm (GA) approach has been improvement. A proper design is required for this Power System Stabilizer (PSS) performance using the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) to archieve this. Then the implemented of the model and response of the dynamic system is been analyzed. The designed without PSS showed an unacceptable system response since as shown in the simulation results, system response with PSS proven to have improvements and PSS succeeding in  stabilizing an unstable system. Therefore this leads to stability of the performance of the generator.</p>

This paper proposes a new design procedure of robust power system stabilizers (PSS) using H∞ control via normalized coprime factorization (NCF) approach. The design procedure of the proposed PSS is systematically described. Moreover, the selection method of the weighting function in H∞ control design is explained in a simple manner. The performance and robustness of the proposed PSS are investigated in comparison with the conventional PSS by examining the case of a single machine connected to an infinite bus (SMIB) system. The simulation results are illustrated to ensure the effectiveness of the proposed PSS.

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.

Power system stabilizers play an important role in reducing the low-frequency oscillation. In this article, the problem of robustly selecting the parameters of the power system stabilizers is studied. A new neural-like P systems optimization algorithm is proposed in order to optimize the power system stabilizer parameters. First, the structure of the neural-like P systems is established. Then, the operation rules, including forgetting rule, spiking rule, evolving rule, and transferring rule, are designed. Furthermore, a new objective function is constructed on the eigenvalues and damping ratio. Finally, the proposed algorithm is tested on the 16-machine and 68-bus system. The simulation results show the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed methods to select the optimal power system stabilizer parameters for damping out the low f oscillation.

Power System stabilizers are a form of supplementary control that is used to provide additional damping to the inter area mode oscillations or to stabilize a generator whose voltage regulator gain is such that it may result in negatively damped machine-to-system oscillations under certain conditions. It has seen observed that the damping of these small power oscillations can be improved by leading back appropriate stabilizing signals to the input of the gain’s exciter. Some input signals that have been considered in the research are slip speed, accelerating power, frequency. In this manuscript, we will use an establish approach to obtain a preliminary design for a power system stabilizer with slip speed as the feedback signal.
