Design for multi-machine power system damping controller via particle swarm optimization approach

This paper provides an algorithm based on the microhabitat theory and particle swarm for the problem of Wide area controller parameters optimization. The method cans optimal parameters. According to multi-objective model of the problem, and reduce the difficulties and works in design for multi-machine Power System damping Controller. In the end of paper, a typical four-generator two-area testing system indicates that wide-area damping controller has a strong capability of damping area oscillation. The result showed that the algorithm validity and feasibility.
