The large expansion of electrical power systems usually results in problem of low frequency oscillations. Therefore, the conventional Power System Stabilizers (PSSs) used to solve this problem cannot provide an adequate damping of low frequency oscillations. Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) damping controllers are available for providing suitable damping for these oscillations. This paper, presents the simultaneous coordinated design of the multiple damping controllers between PSS and SVC-based stabilizer in a single machine infinite bus power system. The coordinated design problem of multiple damping controllers is formulated as an optimization problem. Particle swarm optimization algorithm is applied in order to search optimal controlling parameters by maximizing the objective function based on the eigenvalue. The simulation results for a wide range of operation condition show that the coordinated design able to provide better damping and stability performance.

Power system stability improvement by a coordinate Design ofThyristor Controlled Series Compensator (TCSC) controller is addressed in this paper.Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) technique is employed for optimization of the parameterconstrained nonlinear optimization problem implemented in a simulation environment. The proposed controllers are tested on a weakly connected power system. The non-linear simulation results are presented. The eigenvalue analysis and simulation results show the effectiveness and robustness of proposed controllers to improve the stability performance of power system by efficient damping of low frequency oscillations under various disturbances.

To damp the low-frequency oscillations which occurred due to the disturbances in the electrical power system, the generators are equipped with Power System Stabilizer (PSS) that provide supplementary feedback stabilizing signals. The low-frequency oscillations in power system are classified as local mode oscillations, intra-area mode oscillation, and interarea mode oscillations. Double input multiband Power system stabilizers (PSSs) were used to damp out low-frequency oscillations in power system. Among dual-input PSSs, PSS4B offers superior transient performance. Power system simulator for engineering (PSS/E) software was adopted to test and evaluate the dynamic performance of PSS4B model on Iraqi national grid. The results showed that after installing the PSS in a specific plant the oscillation of rotor angle, bus frequency, speed, power flow is better than without PSS during the disturbances that occurred during the simulations.  All the PSS/E simulation and tests were done in the National dispatch center (NDC) laboratory, Ministry of Electricity.

Low frequency oscillations due to the lack of damping may occur in power systems under normal operation and will cause system instability. These oscillations are essentially nonlinear power responses which are difficult to extract the inherent characteristics by the time domain method. This paper aims to analyze nonlinear power responses by using the Hilbert-Huang transform (HHT) which is a time-frequency signal processing method which comprises steps of the empirical mode decomposition and the Hilbert transform. Dynamic power system responses, including generator output power and line power are to be processed by the HHT and a set of intrinsic mode functions and the associated Hilbert spectrum are obtained. The generator with most effects on the system will be accordingly found out through the time-frequency analysis and the power system stabilizer will be placed at the generator. Numerical results from a sample power system are demonstrated to show the validity of the time-frequency approach in the study of power system low frequency oscillations.

Low-frequency oscillations (LFO) are an inevitable problem of power systems and they have a great effect on the capability of transfer and power system stability. The power system stabilizers (PSSs) as well as flexible AC transmission system (FACTS) devices can help to damp LFO. The target of this study is to tackle the problem of a dual-coordinated design between PSS and unified power flow controller (UPFC) implementing the task of power oscillation damping (POD) controller in a single machine infinite bus (SMIB) system. So, dolphin echolocation optimization (DEO) technique is utilized as an optimization tool to search for optimal parameter tunings based on objective function for enhancing the dynamic stability performance for a SMIB. DEO an algorithm has a few parameters, simple rules, provides the optimum result and is applicable to a wide range of problems like other meta-heuristic algorithms. Use DEO gave the best results in damping LFO compared to particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm. From the comparison results between PSO and DEO, it was shown that DEO provides faster settling time, less overshoot, higher damping oscillations and greatly improves system stability. Also, the comparison results prove that the multiple stabilizers show supremacy over independent controllers in mitigationg LFO of a SMIB.

This paper compares the performance of UPFC damping controller (, and ) to damp Low Frequency Oscillations (LFO) in power system equipped with UPFC based on Fuzzy Logic Power System Stabilizer (UPFC based FLPSS). The power system model was developed using linearized model of Phillips-Heffron Single Machine Infinite Bus (SMIB) and simulated in Matlab Simulink. The ability of each controller to damp LFO present in the rotor speed was monitored when the system being perturbed by small disturbances. The results obtained shown that UPFC controller had better performance to damp LFO compared to the other UPFC damping controllers as it had the lowest overshoot and less settling time.
