Abstract

Stabilization of power systems is investigated using a proportional-integral (PI) power system stabilizer. Digital (sampled-data) PI stabilizers as well as analog (continuous-time) PI stabilizers are examined in this paper. Two approaches, viz., the root-locus method and the suboptimal regulator method, are presented for determining the optimal stabilizer gains of the proposed PI stabilizer. The dynamic responses following a step disturbance by digital simulation are obtained by means of three types of stabilizers: the conventional power system stabilizer, the optimal stabilizer and the PI stabilizer. Simulation results show that the proposed PI stabilizer yields better system dynamic performance than the others in the sense of having greater damping in response to a step disturbance. A characteristic feature of the proposed PI stabilizer is that it is very simple for practical implementation, especially in the digital case, as commercial PI controllers have been widely employed by the industry for years.
