Transient Stability Improvement of Multi-machine Power System using Higher Order Sliding Mode Control

Abstract

The main purpose of this paper is to design a non-linear second order sliding mode control for transient stability of two generator system (TGS). Second order sliding mode algorithms such as Twisting Algorithm (TA) and Super Twisting Algorithm (STA) have been applied and their simulation results are compared. The equilibrium point of TGS is maintained after the clearance of fault and the system is in post fault condition. Simulation results verify the proposed controller. The advantage with this type of control is that it does not require linearized model for its implementation and reduced chattering effect.
