Research ArticlePredictive optimized adaptive PSS in a single machine infinite bus

- We presents a Predictive Optimized Adaptive PSS (POA-PSS) to improve the oscillations in a Single Machine Infinite Bus (SMIB) power system.
- This approach is part of small signal stability analysis, which uses equations in incremental form around an operating point.
- Simulation studies on the SMIB power system illustrate that the proposed POA-PSS approach has better performance than the classical PSS.
- In addition the effort in the control action of the POA-PSS is much less than that of other approaches considered for comparison.

Power System Stabilizer (PSS) devices are responsible for providing a damping torque component to generators for reducing fluctuations in the system caused by small perturbations. A Predictive Optimized Adaptive PSS (POA-PSS) to improve the oscillations in a Single Machine Infinite Bus (SMIB) power system is discussed in this paper. POA-PSS provides the optimal design parameters for the classic PSS using an optimization predictive algorithm, which adapts to changes in the inputs of the system. This approach is part of small signal stability analysis, which uses equations in an incremental form around an operating point. Simulation studies on the SMIB power system illustrate that the proposed POA-PSS approach has better performance than the classical PSS. In addition, the effort in the control action of the POA-PSS is much less than that of other approaches considered for comparison.
