Abstract

This paper applies differential evolution (DE) for parameter optimization of power system stabilizers (PSSs) to enhance the damping of multiple electromechanical modes in multimachine systems over a large and pre-specified set of operating conditions. With the assumption of normal distribution, the statistical nature of the eigenvalues is described by their expectations and variances. A probabilistic eigenvalue-based optimization problem used for determining PSS parameters is then formulated and minimized by the DE algorithm. The effectiveness of the proposed method has been tested based on an eight-machine system.
