Wide-area based on coordinated tuning of fuzzy PSS and FACTS controller in multi-machine environment

In this paper coordination of fuzzy power system stabilizer (FPSS) and flexible ac transmission systems (FACTS) have been considered in a multi-machine power system. The proposed model, has been applied for a wide-area power system. The proposed FPSS presented with local, nonlinear feedbacks, and the corresponding control synthesis conditions are given in terms of solutions to a set of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). For this model, in fuzzy control synthesis, the new proposed control design method is based on fewer fuzzy rules and less computational burden. Also, the parameters of FACTS controller have been evaluated by improved honey bee mating optimization (IHBMO). The effectiveness of the proposed method has been applied over two case studies of single-machine infinite-bus (SMIB) and two areas four machine (TAFM) Kundur’s power system. The obtained results demonstrate the superiority of proposed strategy.
