Abstract :
Power system stabilizers (PSSs) have been used in the last few decades to serve the purpose of enhancing power system damping to low frequency oscillations. PSSs have proved to be efficient in performing their assigned tasks. A wide spectrum of PSS tuning approaches has been proposed [1–3]. However, they may adversely affect voltage profile and may not be able to suppress oscillations resulting from severe disturbances, such as three-phase faults at generator terminals
