abstract = "In this chapter, an evolutionary algorithm based approach to multimachine Power System Stabilizer (PSS) design is presented. This approach employs Differential Evolution (DE) technique to search for optimal settings of PSS parameters. An eigenvalue-based objective function to enhance system damping for electromechanical modes is considered. The robustness of the proposed approach to the initial population is demonstrated. The performance of the proposed DE based PSS (DEPSS) under different disturbances, loading conditions, and system configurations is investigated and examined for different multimachine power systems. The eigenvalue analysis and the nonlinear simulation results show the robustness and the effectiveness of the DEPSSs to damp out the local as well as the interarea modes of oscillations and work effectively over a wide range of loading conditions.",
