Abstract :
A method for designing controls through the excitation system and particle swarm optimization technique to search for the optimal setting of the controller gains to improve transient stability and damping is presented. Simulation of multi-machine power systems are performed to show the effectiveness of the proposed controller. Comparisons with two other control schemes namely (i) a voltage regulator combined with a power system stabilizer and (ii) excitation controls designed by using the direct feedback linearization (DFL) technique are given to further benchmark the control scheme.
