TL;DR: A new type of power system stabiliser based on fuzzy set theory is proposed to improve the dynamic performance of a multimachine power system and is of decentralised output feedback form and is easy for practical implementation.
Abstract: A new type of power system stabiliser based on fuzzy set theory is proposed to improve the dynamic performance of a multimachine power system. To have good damping character istic over a wide range of operating conditions, speed deviation (δω) and acceleration (δω) of a machine are chosen as the input signals to the fuzzy stabiliser on that particular machine. These input signals are first characterised by a set of linguistic variables using fuzzy set notations. The fuzzy relation matrix, which gives the relationship between stabiliser inputs and stabiliser output, allows a set of fuzzy logic operations that are per formed on stabiliser inputs to obtain the desired stabiliser output. Since only local measurements are required by the fuzzy stabiliser on each generating unit, the proposed stabiliser is of decentralised output feedback form and is easy for practical implementation. The effectiveness of the proposed fuzzy stabiliser is demonstrated by a multimachine system example.

TL;DR: In this paper, a rule-based fuzzy logic controller is proposed to control the output power of a PWM inverter used in a stand-alone wind energy conversion scheme (SAWECS).
Abstract: The paper presents a rule-based fuzzy logic controller to control the output power of a pulse width modulated (PWM) inverter used in a stand-alone wind energy conversion scheme (SAWECS). The self-excited induction generator used in SAWECS has the inherent problem of fluctuations in the magnitude and frequency of its terminal voltage with changes in wind velocity and load. To overcome this drawback the variable magnitude, variable frequency voltage at the generator terminals is rectified and the DC power is transferred to the load through a PWM inverter. The objective is to track and extract maximum power from the wind energy system and transfer this power to the local isolated load, This is achieved by using the fuzzy logic controller which regulates the modulation index of the PWM inverter based on the input signals: the power error; and its rate of change. These input signals are fuzzified, that is defined by a set of linguistic labels characterized by their membership functions predefined for each class. Using a set of 49 rules which relate the fuzzified input signals to the fuzzy controller output, fuzzy set theory and associated fuzzy logic operations, the fuzzy controller's output is obtained. The fuzzy set describing the controller's output (in terms of linguistic labels) is defuzzified to obtain the actual analog (numerical) output signal which is then used to control the PWM inverter and ensure complete utilization of the available wind energy. The proposed rule-based fuzzy logic controller is simulated and the results are experimentally verified on a scaled down laboratory prototype of the SAWECS.

TL;DR: A survey of publications on applications of fuzzy set theory to power systems and the basic procedures for fuzzy set based methods to solve specific power systems problems is presented.
Abstract: Increasing interest has been seen in applying fuzzy set theory to power systems problems from the number of publications on this topic. As a relatively new research topic a need is felt to pay more attention to the understanding of the basic principles of the theory and the identification of problems suitable for solving by this method. This paper presents a survey of publications on applications of fuzzy set theory to power systems and the basic procedures for fuzzy set based methods to solve specific power systems problems. Simple numerical examples are used to show the practical procedures of problem formulation and solution. Theses examples are: generator maintenance scheduling, dynamic programming, and power system stabiliser. >

TL;DR: In this article, the application of a fuzzy logic controller to improve the stability of electric power systems is presented, where the stabilizing signal is computed using the standard fuzzy membership function depending on the speed acceleration state of the generator in the phase plane.
Abstract: The application of a fuzzy logic controller to improve the stability of electric power systems is presented. The stabilizing signal is computed using the standard fuzzy membership function depending on the speed acceleration state of the generator in the phase plane. The required measurement is the speed deviation over two samples. The effectiveness of the proposed stabilizer is demonstrated by simulation studies for different operating conditions and disturbances. >

TL;DR: In this article, a fuzzy reasoning approach is proposed for the service restoration of a distribution system, where fuzzy set notation is employed to deal with these imprecise linguistic variables and a set of fuzzy reasoning procedures are developed to implement the operators' heuristic rules.
Abstract: A fuzzy reasoning approach is proposed for the service restoration of a distribution system. After the location of a fault has been identified and the faulted zone has been isolated, it is important for the operators to reach a proper service restoration plan in order to restore the electricity service outside the faulted zone. The operators tend to use their past experience and heuristic rules to devise such a restoration plan because it must satisfy a lot of practical needs and objectives. In addition, the operators' needs and heuristic rules are often expressed in imprecise linguistic terms. In this paper, fuzzy set notation is employed to deal with these imprecise linguistic variables and a set of fuzzy reasoning procedures are developed to implement the operators' heuristic rules. These procedures can be employed to solve the multiple-objective problem of service restoration described in imprecise linguistic variables. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed fuzzy reasoning approach, service restoration on a distribution system within the service area of Taipei West District Office of Taiwan Power Company is examined. It is found that a proper restoration plan can be reached very efficiently by the proposed approach. >

TL;DR: This controller is designed by using an incremental fuzzy logic controller in place of a proportional term in a conventional PI controller and provides a wide variation of controller gains in a nonlinear manner.
Abstract: The paper presents a simple hybrid fuzzy logic proportional plus conventional integral controller for FACTS devices in a multi-machine power system. This controller is designed by using an incremental fuzzy logic controller in place of a proportional term in a conventional PI controller and provides a wide variation of controller gains in a nonlinear manner. This controller is well suited to series connected FACTS devices like UPFC, TCSC and TCPST, etc., in damping multi-modal oscillations in a multi-machine environment. Digital simulations of a multi-machine power system subjected to a wide variety of disturbances validate the efficiency of the new approach.

TL;DR: The linear state space matrix is derived directly from perturbation of the states of a large scale power system dynamic simulation and a subset of this matrix is used to yield the sensitivity of damping ratios of eigenvalues to stabilization measures in individual machines.
Abstract: This paper addresses the problem of the most effective selection of generating units to be equipped with excitation system stabilizers in multimachine systems which exhibit dynamic instability and poor damping of several inter-machine modes of oscillation. Practical means have been developed using eigenvalue analysis techniques to guide the selection process. The linear state space matrix is derived directly from perturbation of the states of a large scale power system dynamic simulation and a subset of this matrix is used to yield the sensitivity of damping ratios of eigenvalues to stabilization measures in individual machines.
