Coordinated design of PSSs and SVC via bacteria foraging optimization algorithm in a multimachine power system

Abstract This paper develops a novel algorithm for simultaneous coordinated designing of power system stabilizers (PSSs) and thyristor controlled series capacitor (TCSC) in a multimachine power system. The coordinated design problem of PSS and TCSC over a wide range of loading conditions is formulated as an optimization problem. The bacterial swarm optimization (BSO) algorithm is employed to search for optimal controllers parameters. By minimizing the proposed objective function, in which the speed deviations between generators are involved; stability performance of the system is improved. To compare the capability of PSS and TCSC, both are designed independently, and then in a coordinated manner. Simultaneous tuning of the bacterial swarm based coordinated controllers gives robust damping performance over wide range of operating conditions, and different disturbances in compare to optimized PSS controller based on BSO (BSOPSS) and optimized TCSC controller based on BSO (BSOTCSC). Moreover, the results are compared to the results obtained using the bacteria foraging (BF) and particle swarm optimization (PSO) to show the effectiveness of using BSO to attain a global optimal solution of the proposed coordinated design problem.
