Application of a neuro-fuzzy controller for single machine infinite bus power system to damp low-frequency oscillations

Generally, power systems experience a variety of disturbances that can result in low frequency electromechanical oscillations. These low frequency oscillations (LFOs) take place among the rotors of synchronous generators connected to the power system. These oscillations may sustain and grow to cause...

description Generally, power systems experience a variety of disturbances that can result in low frequency electromechanical oscillations. These low frequency oscillations (LFOs) take place among the rotors of synchronous generators connected to the power system. These oscillations may sustain and grow to cause system separation if no adequate damping is provided. Power system stabilizers (PSSs) are one of the alternative devices used to solve this rotor oscillation problem. The major limitation of using PSSs at the excitation system of synchronous machine is that the conventional PSS is a permanent parameter type operating under a particular system operating condition, and its parameters are acquired through trial and error. An efficient way of operating the PSS has been by designing the PSS parameters using a powerful optimization procedure. However, designing PSS damping controller is a cumbersome task as it needs a comprehensive test system modeling and a heavy computational burden on the system. In this research, a novel, model-free neuro-fuzzy controller (NFC) is designed as the LFOs’ damping controller to substitute the traditional PSS system making the power system simple without complications in PSS design and parameter optimization. The proposed controller application implements the LFOs’ control without a linearized mathematical model of the system, as such it makes the system less complex and bulky. Single machine infinite bus (SMIB) test system was simulated in SIMULINK domain with the PSSs and with the proposed controller to compare the NFC effectiveness. The simulation outcome for the eigenvalue study with NFC stabilizer yields steady eigenvalues that enhanced the damping status of the system greater than 0.1 with decreased overshoots and time to rise via the proposed NFC process than with the conventional FFA-PSS. Similarly, the generator transient reaction also presents the ω and δ based on the time to settle was improved by 64.66% and 28.78%, respectively, via the proposed NFC process than with the conventional FFA-PSS. Finally, the conventional PSS was found to be complicated in its design, parameter optimization and less effective than the proposed controller for the LFOs’ control.
