Implementation and experimental test results of a Neural Adaptive Power Sys
tem Stabilizes (NAPSS) are presented in this paper. The digital control sys
tem is composed of a micro-alternator, a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC
) acting as AVR, a data acquisition system, a PC-based Man-Machine-Interfac
e (MMI) routine and a Digital Signal Processor (DSP) board as the controlle
r. The proposed NAPSS has been tested for a variety of operating conditions
and disturbances. A digital-type conventional stabilizer has also been imp
lemented in the same environment for comparison purposes. Results of the la
boratory studies show that the proposed NAPSS effectively damps low frequen
cy oscillations and improves power system stability.
