Due to the development of power networks and the ever increasing use of Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) instruments, the unpredicted interactions have been increased in the power system. Thus, the designing and setting of proper controllers is crucial for the improvement of the dynamic response of a power system along with the FACTS instruments. Because of that in this paper, a new optimization algorithm-based method of Fuzzy Adaptive Bacterial Foraging (FABF) has been used to design the Power System Stabilizer (PSS) and the Thyrist or Controlled Series Capacitor (TCSC) for damping the low frequency oscillations of the power system. The aim of this design is to minimize the deviation of speed and generators terminal voltage in a great range of loads with the use of FABF algorithm. Designing of TCSC and PSS has been both independently and simultaneously performed to confirm the discussed method. The comparison of this method with the Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm (PSO) in the4-machine Kundur system and the10-machine New England system, shows the superiority potential of this method.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
