Abstract: This paper presents a procedure to coordinated design of Power System Stabilizers (PSSs) and Static VAR Compensators (SVCs) in a multimachine power system. The aims of the proposed method are to find the best location and the optimal parameters of these compensators in order to improve the steady state and transient performances and also to increase the system damping over a wide range of operating conditions. The objective function of the Genetic Algorithm (GA) allows the selection of the PSSs and SVCs to shift critical closed loop eigenvalues to the left side in the complex s-plane. The multimachine power system considered in this study consists of nine buses, three generating units (steam, hydro and nuclear) and three static loads. Digital simulation studies show that the proposed design procedure provides good damping for the power system at different operating conditions, and moreover improves steady-state and transient performance of the system. | ||||
