Robust Design of Damping Controller for Power System using a combination of Flower Optimization algorithm and Optimal Control Theory
Abstract: The power system experience low frequency oscillations due to various disturbances. It is verynecessary to damp these oscillations else it will endanger the system security and stability. High gainand fast acting excitation systems do not provide the necessary damping torque and it can provide thesufficient synchronising torque only. Lack of damping torque causes the oscillations of generator rotor,So, Power system stabilizer (PSS) is used in the proposed work along with …
