Hardware implementation of a fuzzy logic stabilizer on a laboratory scale power system

摘要

A power system stabilizer using the fuzzy logic is designed and implemented in this paper. Simulation studies are performed to evaluate the performance of the fuzzy logic power system stabilizer (FLPSS) and PID power system stabilizer (PIDPSS). Genetic algorithms have been used to optimize the parameters of the fuzzy and PID stabilizers. To validate the design, different types of disturbances are applied to the system and the results of both stabilizers are compared. The simulation studies show that the fuzzy stabilizer provides a relatively better performance comparable to that of the PIDPSS over a wide range of operating conditions. The FLPSS and PIDPSS have also been experimentally implemented using MATLAB/Real-Time Windows Target toolbox software on a laboratory set up to model a simple power system of 1 KVA machine connected to an infinite bus through a transmission line. Experimental tests and results revealed the effectiveness of FLPSS, especially in vulnerable operating points.
