Optimal Stabilizer PID Parameters Tuned by Chaotic Particle Swarm Optimization for Damping Low Frequency Oscillations (LFO) for Single Machine Infinite Bus system (SMIB)

Abstract

In this paper, the Power system stabilizer (PSS) and (PID) are enhanced with a Chaotic Particle Swarm Optimization (CPSO) Damping Controller in order to suppression the Low-Frequency Oscillations (LFO) in a Single Machine Infinite Bus (SMIB) power system. Chaotic particle swarm optimization (CPSO) is used to tune the parameters of the PSS-PID. The design damping controller is an optimized lead-lag controller, which extracts the speed deviation of the generator rotor and generates the output feedback signal, which aims to modulate the reference values of the PSS-PID controller to achieve the best damping of LFO. In order to search the better damping option, the damping controller is applied to a series of the PSS-PID and the results are compared in two cases (PSS without PID and PSS with PID). The effectiveness of the proposed controller is achieved by time-domain simulation results in MATLAB environment, using three different operational conditions (Nominal, Light, and heavy). In addition, the results obtained from the PSS-PID were robust and more efficient compared to the PID only in terms of oscillations damping, overshoot minimizing and settling time reducing.
