Applications of exact linearization techniques for steady-state stability enhancement in a weak AC/DC system

A nonlinear control strategy to improve the steady-state stability of a weak AC/DC power system is presented. The approach is based on the extension of feedback linearization techniques to nonlinear descriptor system models. This method produces a nonlinear control strategy which is capable of enhancing system performance for various system operating conditions. The control law is determined and simulation results are given. >
