An integrated approach for optimal placement and tuning of power system stabilizer in multi-machine systems

摘要

In this paper, a hybrid approach for tuning and placement of power system stabilizers (PSS) in multi-machine power systems is provided with the aim of reducing low-frequency oscillations (LFO) and improving power system dynamic stability with wide range of changes in system parameters and operating point of the system. PSS parameters are adjusted using Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm (PSO), and using Takagi-Sugeno (TS) fuzzy, optimal location for the PSS is determined. The employed fuzzy system has two inputs, the real part and the damping coefficient of network eigenvalues. The results of test on a grid four machine-two area sample, show optimal performance of the proposed method in improving system stability and reducing low-frequency oscillations of local and inter-area modes.
