PSSs are added to excitation systems to enhance the damping during low frequency oscillations. The non-linear model of a machine is linearized at different operating points. Chemical Reaction optimization (CRO), a new population based search algorithm is been proposed in this paper to damp the power system low-frequency oscillations and enhance power system stability. Computation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm is effective in damping low frequency oscillations as well as improving system dynamic stability. The performance of the proposed algorithm is evaluated for different loading conditions. In addition, the proposed algorithm is more effective and provides superior performance when compared other population based optimization algorithms like differential evolution (DE) and particle swarm optimization (PSO).

It is very important to take into consideration time delay in wide area power system stability; the design of PSS (Power System Stabilizer) should consider global optimization with WAMS (Wide Area Measurement System) time delay. Newly designed PSS should be insensitive to time delay and suppress internal low frequency oscillations. It is used as feedback signal and is real-time synchronous that WAMS signal shows. Power system is modeled with the consideration of time delay. LMI (Linear Matrix Inequalities) is used to solve the stability condition of time delay system. Based on the time-delay effect of the wide-area measurement signals, this paper redesigned the PSS with global optimization of power system. The attached two-area-four-machine system simulation illustrates that wide-area PSS designed by global optimization with the consideration of time-delay can limit internal low frequency oscillation with time-delay insensitivity, and improve the stability of power system. It implements global optimization of PSS with WAMS time delay stability.

Power system stability means the ability to develop restoring forces equal to or greater than the disturbing forces to maintain the state of equilibrium. Successful operation of a power system depends largely on providing reliable and uninterrupted service to the loads by the power utility. The stability of the power system is concerned with the behavior of the synchronous machines after they have been disturbed. If the disturbance does not involve any net change in power, the machines should return to their original state. Due to small disturbances, power system experience these poorly damped low frequency oscillations. The dynamic stability of power systems are also affected by these low frequency oscillations. This paper presents to analyze and obtain the optimum gain for damping oscillation in SMIB by using Riccati matrix method to improve dynamic power system stability. The result shows that with suitable gain which is act as a stabilizer that taken from Riccati matrix, the oscillations of rotor speed and rotor angle can be well damped and hence the system stability is enhanced.

This paper reports a new technique for achieving optimized design for power system stabilizers. In any large scale interconnected systems, disturbances of small magnitudes are very common and low frequency oscillations pose a major problem. Hence small signal stability analysis is very important for analyzing system stability and performance. Power System Stabilizers (PSS) are used in these large interconnected systems for damping out low-frequency oscillations by providing auxiliary control signals to the generator excitation input. In this paper, collective decision optimization (CDO) algorithm, a meta-heuristic approach based on the decision making approach of human beings, has been applied for the optimal design of PSS. PSS parameters are tuned for the objective function, involving eigenvalues and damping ratios of the lightly damped electromechanical modes over a wide range of operating conditions. Also, optimal locations for PSS placement have been derived. Comparative study of the results obtained using CDO with those of grey wolf optimizer (GWO), differential Evolution (DE), Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA) and crow search algorithm (CSA) methods, established the robustness of the algorithm in designing PSS under different operating conditions.

<span>During the last few decades, electrical power demand enlarged significantly whereas power production and transmission expansions have been brutally restricted because of restricted resources as well as ecological constraints. Consequently, many transmission lines have been profoundly loading, so the stability of power system became a Limiting factor for transferring electrical power. Therefore, maintaining a secure and stable operation of electric power networks is deemed an important and challenging issue. Transient stability of a power system has been gained considerable attention from researchers due to its importance. The FACTs devices that provide opportunities to control the power and damping oscillations are used. Therefore, this paper sheds light on the modified particle swarm optimization (M-PSO) algorithm is used such in the paper to discover the design optimal the Proportional Integral controller (PI-C) parameters that improve the stability the Multi-Machine Power System (MMPS) with Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC). Performance the power system under event of fault is investigating by utilizes the proposed two strategies to simulate the operational characteristics of power system by the UPFC using: first, the conventional (PI-C) based on Particle Swarm Optimization (PI-C-PSO); secondly, (PI-C) based on modified Particle Swarm Optimization (PI-C-M-PSO) algorithm. The simulation results show the behavior of power system with and without UPFC, that the proposed (PI-C-M-PSO) technicality has enhanced response the system compared for other techniques, that since it gives undershoot and over-shoot previously existence minimized in the transitions, it has a ripple lower. Matlab package has been employed to implement this study. The simulation results show that the transient stability of the respective system enhanced considerably with this technique.</span>

This paper proposes a novel current injection model of Pulse width Modulation based Series Compensator (PWMSC), as new FACTS controller, for damping of low frequency oscillations. The PWMSC operates as a means of continuous control of the degree of series compensation through the variation of the duty cycle of a train of fixed frequency-pulses. The methodology is tested on the sample single machine power system including PWMSC controller by performing computer simulations for small and large distributions. MATLAB/ Simulink software package was used for the simulations.

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.

In this paper, the tuning design of  SSSC and PSS was examined in increasing the damping of system oscillations and improve the stability of the power system during disturbances. The design problem of the SSSC controller and PSS is designed as problem of optimization and the technique uses (PSO) technique to find for optimal control parameters. By minimizing the objective function based on the speed deviation and time domain, which deliberately deviates at the oscillation angle of the alternator rotor to improve performance of transient stability of the system. The proposed controllers are tested on the system of weak bonding ability exposed to severe disturbance. Nonlinear simulation results are presented to demonstrate the proposed controller's effectiveness and its ability to give efficient damping. It is also noted that the proposed controllers  of SSSC and PSS greatly improves the power system stability.
