Optimal Design of Power System Stabilizer Using a Novel Evolutionary Algorithm

International Journal of Energy Optimization and Engineering

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.

Comparison and Optimal Design of SSSC Controller Based on ICA and PSO for Power System Dynamic Stability Improvement

ECTI Transactions on Electrical Engineering, Electronics, and Communications

A new imperialist competitive algorithm (ICA)-based approach is proposed for optimal selection of the static synchronous series compensator (SSSC) damping controller parameters in order to shift the closed loop eigenvalues toward the desired stability. The optimal selection of the parameters for the SSSC controllers is converted to an optimization problem which is solved by recently developed evolutionary ICA method. This optimization algorithm has a strong ability to find the most optimistic results for dynamic stability improvement. Single machine infinite bus (SMIB) system has been considered to examine the operation of proposed controllers. The input power variation of generator is considered as a disturbance. The effectiveness of the proposed controller for damping low frequency oscillations is tested and results compared with particle swarm optimization (PSO). Also, the performance of proposed method is tested in dierent loading conditions. In addition, the potential and super...

Type-2 Fuzzy Self-Tuning Voltage Controller for a Synchronous Generator using Tabu Search

This article presents the methodology of an application of a self-tuning interval type-2 fuzzy logic controller (IT2 FLC) as a voltage regulator for the excitation system of a synchronous generator. The tabu search is used for self-tuning the knowledge base of linguistic rules of the fuzzy control. A 5th order model is utilized for a 645 MVA synchronous generator. Tests were applied to the machine-infinite bus model with long or short transmission lines with the self-tuning IT2 FLC, presenting the best steady state and dynamic performance, when it is compared with a self-tuning type-1 fuzzy logic controller (T1 FLC), manually tuned IT2 FLC and a ST1 type conventional voltage regulator. The synchronous generator is subject to a three phase short circuit with 10 cycles fault duration for the short line with and without uncertainty in the terminal voltage, the self-tuning IT2 FLC presents the best performance. The system with a long transmission line is subject to a three phase short circuit with 6 cycles of fault duration, only the self-tuning IT2 FLC remains stable. The system was also subject to a wide range of operating conditions, taking the generator from no load up to the transmission power limit remaining stable only with the self-tuning IT2 and T1 FLC. Keywords-Enhanced Karnick-Mendel algorithm, Interval type-2 fuzzy logic controller (IT2 FLC), Tabu Search (TS), Type-1 fuzzy logic controller (T1 FLC).

A Novel approach for tuning of Power System Stabilizer (SMIB system) using Genetic Local Search Technique

IJSRD, 2014

The genetic local search technique (GLS) hybridizes the genetic algorithm (GA) and the local search (such as hill climbing) in order to eliminate the disadvantages in GA. The parameters of the PSS (gain, phase lead time constant) are tuned by considering the single machine connected to infinite bus system (SMIB). Here PSS are used for damping low frequency local mode of oscillations. Eigen value analysis shows that the proposed GLSPSS based PSS have better performance compared with conventional and the Genetic algorithm based PSS (GAPSS). Integral of time multiplied absolute value of error (ITAE) is taken as the performance index of the selected system. Genetic and Evolutionary algorithm (GEA) toolbox is used along with MATLAB/SIMULINK for simulation.

Application of Evolution Algorithm in Power System Control Design

2007

Power system controller design based on an evolutionary algorithm called population based incremental learning (PBIL) is proposed in this paper. The problem of controller design is transformed into an optimization problem and the parameters of the controller are determined via PBIL. The proposed method has the advantage that it is simpler, faster and more efficient than both the classical trial and error approach of designing PSS and the genetic algorithms (GAs). The PBIL-PSS is compared with the GA-PSS. Simulation results show that PBIL-PSS is more effective than GA-PSS in damping the system's oscillations.

An Optimized Fuzzy Controller for a Synchronous Generator in a Multi-Machine Environment

Fuzzy Sets and Systems (Special Issue on Power Systems Applications), Volume 102(1) pp. 71-84, Elsevier Science, The Netherlands., 1999

In this paper, an optimized Neuro-Fuzzy Power-System Stabilizer (NF PSS) is proposed to improve the transient and dynamic stability of synchronous machines. The NF PSS employs a five-layer Fuzzy-Neural Network (FNN). The learning scheme of this FNN is composed of three phases. The first phase uses a clustering algorithm for coarse identification of the initial membership functions of the Fuzzy Controller (FC). The second phase extracts the linguistic-fuzzy rules from the available training data. In the third phase, a Multi-Resolutional Dynamic Genetic Algorithm (MRD-GA) is used to fine-tune and optimize the membership functions of the FC. Extensive simulation studies have been carried out to show the performance of the NF PSS and to compare it with a Conventional PSS (CPSS) in a multi-machine power-system environment.
