Comparing the performance of UPFC Damping Controller on Damping Low Frequency Oscillations

摘要

This paper compares the performance of UPFC damping controller (m_E, m_B' andδ_E ) 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 δ_E had better performance to damp LFO compared to the other UPFC damping controllers as it had the lowest overshoot and less settling time.
