Abstract
In this paper, a robust method for the simultaneous coordinated design of the interline power flow controller (IPFC) and power system stabilizer (PSS) based on output feedback controllers in a single-machine infinite-bus power system for the enhancement of power systems low-frequency oscillations damping is presented. The Honey Bee Algorithm, which has a strong ability to find the most optimistic results, is employed to search for optimal IPFC and PSS output feedback controller parameters. A singular value decomposition method is utilized to select the most effective damping control signal of the IPFC output feedback controller. To assess the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed method, simulation studies are carried out for three operating conditions. Analysis of the results shows that the combined design has an excellent capability for damping a power system’s low-frequency oscillations. Moreover, system performance analysis under different operating conditions and performance indices shows the effectiveness of the proposed method even when a severe fault is applied.
