Abstract
The tuning of the PSS parameters for a multi-machine power system is usually formulated as an objective function with constraints consisting of the damping factor and damping ratio. A novel mixed-integer ant direction hybrid differential evolution algorithm, called MIADHDE, is proposed to solve this kind of problem. The MIADHDE is improved from ADHDE by the addition of accelerated phase and real variables. The performances of three different objective functions are compared to the MIADHDE in this paper. Both local and remote feedback signals of machine speed deviation measurements can be selected as input signals to the PSS controllers in the proposed objective function. The New England 10-unit 39-bus standard power system, under various system configurations and loading conditions, is employed to illustrate the performance of the proposed method with the three different objective functions. Eigenvalue analysis and nonlinear time domain simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm and the objective function with a remote signal.
