A Wide-Area Continuous Time Model Predictive Control Scheme for Multi-Machine Power System

This paper presents a systematic procedure for designing a wide-area centralized Continuous Time Model Predictive Controller (CTMPC) to improve the angular stability of a multi-machine power system. In this scheme, each generator is assumed to be provided with a local controller to damp out the local mode of oscillations and also employs a global signal from the centralized controller to damp out the inter-area mode of oscillations. The proposed control scheme has been implemented on a two-area fourmachine power system. The performance of the controller has been compared with a coordinated Genetic Algorithm (GA)-tuned Conventional Power System Stabilizer (CPSS).
