Go to Editorial ManagerWith the aim of enhancing the small signal stability of electric power systems, the present paper evaluated and compared some power system stabilizers (PSSs). The dilemma of small signal instability is avoided by equipping the generator’s automatic voltage regulator (AVR) with a backup controller known as a PSS. Conventional PSS operates with acceptable efficiency when designed to suit specific operating conditions, but there are limitations and drawbacks that arise when disturbances lead to fluctuation in system parameters. Strengthening the design methodology for PSS in the face of these limitations is achieved by adopting artificial intelligence. This research presents a fuzzy, neural system-based approach to the development of PSS. The Adaptive Network Based Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) is used to design the Fuzzy Neural Power Systems stabilizer (FNPSS) . ANFIS eliminates the disadvantages of using fuzzy logic and neural networks independently in PSS design. The single machine infinite bus (SMIB) power system was used as a case study to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed methodology. Additionally, the study includes root locus scheme for loop of voltage regulation by utilizing proportional Integral controller, P-I controller, a widely used traditional linear design technique, for comparison. The simulation results confirm the effectiveness of the method, demonstrating the superiority of the ANFIS design method over other PSS designs. MATLAB, along with Control System Toolbox and SIMULINK, is used for simulation and design.
The continuously ever-growing demand for the electrical power causing the continuous expansion and complexity of power systems, environmental and economic factors forcing the system to work near the critical limits of stability, so research's stability have become research areas worthy of attention in the resent day. The present work includes two phases: The first one is to determine the Voltage Stability Index for the more insensitive load bus to the voltage collapse in an interconnected power system using fast analyzed method based on separate voltage and current for PQ buses from these of PV buses, while the second phase is to suggested a simulated optimization technique for optimal voltage stability profile all around the power system. The optimization technique is used to adjust the control variables elements: Generator voltage magnitude, active power of PV buses, VAR of shunt capacitor banks and the position of transformers tap with satisfied the limit of the state variables (load voltages, generator reactive power and the active power of the slack bus). These control variables are main effect on the voltage stability profile to reach the peak prospect voltage stable loading with acceptable voltage profile. An optimized voltage collapse based on Particle Swarm Optimization has been tested on both of the IEEE 6 bus system and the Iraqi Extra High Voltage 400 kV Grid 28 bus . To ensure the effectiveness of the optimization technique a comparison between the stability indexes for load buses before and after technical application are presented. Simulation results have been executed using Matlab software). Keyword: Voltage Stability Indicator; voltage collapse; Stability of Extra High Voltage Grid; PSO optimization technique.
