The control of a synchronous machine using optimal control theory

The selection of stabilizing signals to improve power system dynamic behavior is presented. Some results from modern control theory are used to show how such stabilizing signals may be derived systematically for a turboalternator model connected through a double circuit line to an infinite bus. The closed-loop performance of this nonlinear system model with the derived linear optimal controller is then evaluated for a wide range of input disturbances and operating conditions which include three-phase fault studies with autoreclosure.
