A sliding mode decentralized excitation controller for multimachine power systems is designed to stabilize the power angle and regulate the terminal generators voltages. First, the block control approach is used to derive a nonlinear sliding manifold, on which the mechanical dynamics are linearized. Then, a combination of the integral and nested sliding mode techniques is applied to reject both the matched and unmatched perturbations. The designed controller was tested through simulation of WSCC (Western System Coordinating Council) under small and large perturbations. The presented simulations confirm effectiveness of the proposed controller.
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.
