Abstract

A trade-off between voltage regulation and power oscillation damping is achieved by cooperative effort of excitation and STATCOM in this paper. This end is embodied by a predefined linear quadratic regulator (LQR) performance index. Since, in practical power systems, decentralized control is highly desirable for its relatively low cost and high reliability, the controller designing procedure is formulated into an optimization problem constrained by a decentralized structure. A direct iterative DFP-based algorithm is proposed to set the decentralized feedback gains. Simulation results confirm the validity of the proposed scheme
