APPLICATIONS OF ARTIFICIAL-INTELLIGENCE TECHNIQUES IN SYNCHRONOUS MACHINE CONTROL - A REVIEW

To enhance power systems stability, extensive research has been conduc ted in the area of synchronous machines control, and several technique s and algorithms have been developed and implemented in real applicati ons. One of the latest and most sophisticated techniques is the Artifi cial Intelligence (AI) based control. Increased interest has been focu sed in the use of these algorithms in control systems; different appro aches have been proposed for their application. The results presented on several research papers show the advantages of such algorithms over the conventional control algorithms. In this paper, the problem of sy nchronous machines control is considered, and an overview of several a rtificial intelligence approaches as applied to the control of synchro nous generators is presented. A critical and evaluating discussion on each AI approach is also included.
