Power system stabilizers (PSS) are used to generate supplementary control signals for the excitation system in order to damp the low frequency power system oscillations. To overcome the drawbacks of conventional PSS (CPSS), numerous techniques have been proposed in the literature. Based on the analysis of existing techniques, a novel design of power system stabilizer (PSS) based on heuristic dynamic programming (HDP) is proposed in this paper. HDP combining the concepts of dynamic programming and reinforcement learning is used in the design of a nonlinear optimal power system stabilizer. The proposed HDP based PSS is evaluated against the conventional power …

The design of nonlinear optimal neurocontrollers based on the Adaptive Critic Designs (ACDs) family of algorithms has recently attracted interest. This paper presents a summary of these algorithms, and compares their performance when implemented on two different types of artificial neural networks, namely the multilayer perceptron neural network (MLPNN) and the radial basis function neural network (RBFNN). As an example for the application of the ACDs, the control of synchronous generator on an electric power grid is considered and results are presented to compare the different ACD family members and their implementations on different neural network architectures.

Adaptive-Critic-Based Optimal Neurocontrol For Synchronous Generators In A Power System Using Mlp/Rbf Neural Networks, Jung-Wook Park, Ganesh K. Venayagamoorthy, Ronald G. Harley

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

This paper presents a novel optimal neurocontroller that replaces the conventional controller (CONVC), which consists of the automatic voltage regulator and turbine governor, to control a synchronous generator in a power system using a multilayer perceptron neural network (MLPN) and a radial basis function neural network (RBFN). The heuristic dynamic programming (HDP) based on the adaptive critic design technique is used for the design of the neurocontroller. The performance of the MLPN-based HDP neurocontroller (MHDPC) is compared with the RBFN-based HDP neurocontroller (RHDPC) for small as well as large disturbances to a power system, and they are in turn compared …

A novel nonlinear optimal neurocontroller for a static compensator (STATCOM) connected to a power system using artificial neural networks is presented in this paper. The heuristic dynamic programming (HDP), a member of the adaptive critic designs (ACDs) family, is used for the design of the STATCOM neurocontroller. This neurocontroller provides nonlinear optimal control with better performance compared to the conventional PI controllers.
