IMPLEMENTATION AND EXPERIMENTAL STUDIES OF AN ADAPTIVE SELF-OPTIMIZING POWER-SYSTEM STABILIZER

This paper describes the implementation and experimental studies of an adaptive self-optimizing pole shifting power system stabilizer. Using an Intel iSBC386/21 single-board computer, the adaptive power system stabilizer has been tested on a physical model of a single-machine inf inite-bus power system. Under different operating conditions and distu rbances, the behavior of the proposed adaptive stabilizer was investig ated. Comparison has also been made to a digital-type conventional fix ed-parameter power system stabilizer. Results of the experimental stud ies show that the proposed adaptive stabilizer outperforms the convent ional stabilizer.
