A New Robust Multi-machine Power System Stabilizer Design Using Quantitative Feedback Theory

Abstract Small-signal oscillations is one of the important problems in power system operation that caused by insufficient natural damping in the system. This paper uses the Quantitative Feedback Theory (QFT) to design a new robust PSS for multi-machine power systems able to provide acceptable damping over a wide range of operating points. In the design procedure the main purpose is to reject the load fluctuations and, therefore, a particular transfer function is used as the nominal plant. The parametric uncertainty in power system is readily handled using QFT. The decentralized design with a simple structure is easily applied to multi-machine power systems. The nonlinear time-domain simulations are carried out to validate the effectiveness of the proposed controller. Results clearly show the benefits of the proposed controller for stability enhancement of power systems.
