Abstract
Sustained power system oscillation has become a serious problem for power system operation and control nowadays. Oscillations cause safety problems in electric power equipment and limit the transmission capacity of long-distance power transmission. Oscillations can reach an amount that can compromise the stable operation of the synchronous generator and the power system in general. One way to suppress oscillations is to use a stabilizer of the power system as an integral part of the excitation systems of generators. The task of the power oscillation stabilizer is to produce a torque damping component of the electromagnetic torque through the excitation systems. This paper reveals the impacts of Generic and Multiband power system stabilizers (PSS) to enhance the damping of low frequency oscillations in a two machine power system. The impact of the Multiband PSS was seen to be better that of Generic PSS on the two machine power system in Matlab Simulink. KEY WORD : Power, Stability, Simulation, Oscillations, Faults.

Highlights
Power systems are inherently nonlinear and undergo a wide range of transient conditions, which results in under damped low frequency speed as well as power oscillations that are difficult to control
Power system stability may be broadly defined as that property of a power system that enables it to remain in a state of operating equilibrium under normal operating condition and to regain an acceptable state of equilibrium after being subjected to a disturbance (Kunju, et al, 2016)
Stability of power system needs to be maintained even when subjected to large low-probability disturbances so that the electricity can be supplied to consumers with high reliability
Summary
Power systems are inherently nonlinear and undergo a wide range of transient conditions, which results in under damped low frequency speed as well as power oscillations that are difficult to control. Stability of power system needs to be maintained even when subjected to large low-probability disturbances so that the electricity can be supplied to consumers with high reliability. It is known that the power-system stabilizers PSS for generators and the supplementary controllers for flexible ac transmission system (FACT) devices are efficient tools for improving the stability of power systems through damping of low frequency modes (Cardenas, et al.,, 2013), where the frequency of these modes ranges from 0.2 to 2.5 Hz. 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
