A new H-infinity PSS design method which uses the numerator-denominator per
turbation representation and includes the partial pole placement technique
and a new weighting function selection method is proposed. This overcomes c
ertain conventional H-infinity PSS design algorithm limitations. A robust P
SS has been successfully designed by treating the highly non-linear charact
eristic of the power system as model 'uncertainty'. The design is verified
to have better performance for a wide range of system operating conditions
when compared with the conventional PSS design. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science S
