Abstract :
This work describes the development of a fuzzy logic tool capable of controlling system voltages and VAr resources, as well as processing alarms related to voltage stability. The fuzzy controller monitors voltages and VAr resources and generates appropriate control signals to each VAr source to maintain acceptable system voltage levels. The fuzzy alarm processor generates an individual alarm for each voltage region, and a general alarm signal that indicates the overall system condition. A prototype fuzzy controller/processor has been interfaced with power system simulation software to test its performance under simulated on-line conditions
