Abstract

The application of a numerical optimization scheme to the tuning of power system stabilizers is studied. The scheme is based on minimax optimization techniques with multiple objectives given by relevant system perturbations, aggregated by means of a weighted sum. The large number of constraints is handled by separating the optimization and simulation in two levels which interchange limited information. Three different optimization techniques were tested with applications to the Venezuelan power system for the years 1989 and 2005. The overall method is shown to be accurate and reliable
