Transient stability analysis of synchronous generators is important for a secure operation of power systems. This paper presents the design and verification of linear-parametervarying (LPV) controllers to robustly establish transient stability of multi-machine power systems with formal guarantees. First, we transform power systems described by differential algebraic equations (DAEs) into modular LPV systems, such that the interaction and correlation between different machines connected to the grid is preserved. Then, we employ reachability analysis to determine the set of admissible parameter values which is required for the LPV controller synthesis. Afterwards, reachability analysis is also used to formally guarantee that the synthesized controller encloses the time-varying parameters within chosen parameter ranges during transients. Both tasks are solved simultaneously in a systematic fashion. The method is demonstrated on a multi-machine benchmark example to showcase the applicability and scalability of the approach.
