Stabilization of generalized Hamiltonian systems with internally generated energy and applications to power systems

Passivity-based control (PBC) is a very powerful design methodology for dynamic systems. In this paper, the stabilization of generalized Hamiltonian control systems with internally generated energy is considered using PBC. Sufficient conditions concerning the passivation of this kind of Hamiltonian control systems are given. The results are applied to power systems, including multimachine power systems with steam valve control and single machine infinite bus with superconducting magnetic energy storage. Simulations are employed to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control methodology.
