Abstract

The power system is a complex network having highly nonlinear dynamics. Being electrically interconnected power systems are vulnerable to instability due to the disturbances in any one portion of the system. Even low-frequency oscillations (LFOs) originated from small disturbances in any part of the network may cause the outage of the whole system. Power System Stabilizer (PSS) with optimal parameter settings is an efficient tool for the suppression of these oscillations. In this paper, a novel approach is proposed to tune lead-lag controller based PSS for a single machine infinite bus (SMIB) network by using backtracking search algorithm (BSA) to suppress LFOs through improvement of power system damping. The efficacy of BSA tuned PSS has been investigated by comparing the simulation results with fixed gain conventional PSS. In addition, the damping ratio and eigenvalues of the same network have been compared with genetic algorithm (GA) based tuned PSS.
