-In this paper, a novel and robust Power System Stabilizer (PSS) is proposed as an effective approach to improve stability in electric power systems. The dynamic performance of proposed PSS has been thoroughly compared with Conventional PSS (CPSS). Both the Real Coded Genetic Algorithm (RCGA) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) techniques are applied to optimum tune the parameter of both the proposed PSS and CPSS in order to damp-out power system oscillations. Due to the high sufficiency of both the RCGA and PSO techniques to solve the very non-linear objective, they have been employed for solution of the optimization problem. In order to verify the dynamic performance of these devices, different conditions of disturbance are taken into account in Single Machine Infinite Bus (SMIB) power system. Moreover, to ensure the robustness of proposed PSS in damping the power system multi-mode oscillations, a Multi Machine (MM) power system under various disturbances are considered as a test system. The results of nonlinear simulation strongly suggest that the proposed PSS significantly enhances the power system dynamic stability in both of the SMIB and MM power system as compared to CPSS.

In this paper, Power System Stabilizer (PSS) and Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR) are coordinated to improve the transient stability of generator in power system. Coordinated design problem of AVR and PSS is formulated as an optimization problem. Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) technique is an advanced robust search method by the swarming or cooperative behavior of biological populations mechanism. The performance of PSO has been certified in solution of highly non-linear objectives. Thus, PSO technique has been employed to optimize the parameters of PSS and AVR in order to reduce the power system oscillations during the load changing conditions in single-machine, infinite-bus power system. The results of nonlinear simulation suggest that, by coordinated design of AVR and PSS based on PSO technique power system oscillations are exceptionally damped. Correspondingly, it's shown that power system stability is superiorly enhanced than the uncoordinated designed of the PSS and the AVR controllers.

In this paper, the concept of smart materials has been engaged in order to control and abate the vibrations of non-linear beams. In the meantime, flexural vibration of viscoelastic has been taken into account aimed at reinforcing the carbon nanotube beams. This theory has applied the viscoelastic model to draw out the classical viscoelastic Kelvin–Voigt model. Likewise, the Hamilton’s principle has been employed to derive the non-linear differential equations of beam’s motion as for the piezoelectric patches and also the multiple scales method has been engaged in order to solve the non-linear equation of system motion. A fuzzy controller has been desirably arranged in the piezoelectric actuator/sensor loop to reduce the forced vibrations for any arbitrary stimulation. Due to majestic efficiency of the Bees Algorithm (BA) in the solution of many different engineering problems, it has been engaged for this work. To ensure and confirm the robustness of the proposed approach, three different conditions of forced stimulation have been taken into account for the studied system. In all, the non-linear simulation results unveil the robust performance of the proposed approach based on the BA technique in the damping of the system’s vibrations.

The small signal stability of power systems integrated with fallback large‐scale distributed energy resources is of utmost importance during the perturbation conditions. Among the various renewable resources in power systems: photovoltaic, fuel cell, wind turbine, diesel engine, aqua electrolyser, battery, ultra‐capacitor, and flywheel is becoming more favored in last decades. AGC, a main control system of frequency modulation, must correctly alleviate the low frequency oscillations caused by the perturbation and variable output power of renewable resources. In this regard, FOBELBIC is here introduced to enhance the damping capability of AGC. Since both the frequency and tie‐line power oscillations must be concomitantly alleviated, the small signal stability problem has been multi‐objectively formulated. Due to the exploration capability of MOALO, it has been chosen to extract the optimal parameters of FOBELBIC. Furthermore, MOPSO, MOBA, and NSGA‐II have been studied to demonstrate the capability of MOALO. To verify and validate the damping performance of suggested controller, it has been evaluated in three‐area reconstructed power system under the load perturbations as well as wind speed and sun radiation variations, and at the same time compared with BELBIC and PID controllers. Finally, the simulation results have evidently confirmed the damping the performance of MOALO‐based FOBELBIC to enhance the small signal stability of hybrid power system. © 2019 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Environ Prog, 38:e13146, 2019
