Static VAR Compensator-Based PID, LQR and Robust H₂Controller Design with Application to AUV

This study examines a new method for improving power system stability using a static VAR compensator (SVC)based damping controller, which lowers operating and maintenance costs in power system plants. In power systems, static VAR compensators (SVCs) are widely employed for a variety of tasks, including voltage management and oscillation damping. It is a flexible AC transmission line system (FACTS) device of the shunt type. The multi-machine power plant (two-area system) is used as a case study to test the performance of the suggested controller under various disturbances. In order to show the robustness and effectiveness of the suggested approach, The performance of H2 control is compared with a conventional PID controller and LQR controller to get the advantages of modern control to offer significant damping to the system oscillations are highlighted. The theoretical results of this work will be combined with Fractional Theory and applied to an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV). MATLAB Simulink was used for simulations and power system modeling.
