Abstract

 

Implementation and experimental results of a self-tuning power system stabilizer (PSS) using the indirect adaptive control principle (ADALINE- Identifier and linear feedback controller) are presented in this paper. The system is identified as a third-order ARMA model. The weights of the ADALINE- Identifier are updated on-line and have a one-to-one relation with the ARMA parameters. The controller uses the pole-shift control algorithm that moves the closed-loop poles of the identified system to achieve the regulation of the system to a constant setpoint in the shortest interval of time. Experimental studies verify that the proposed adaptive power system stabilizer (APSS) effectively damps the oscillations and improves power systems stability.
