Models of real-world applications often include a large number of parameters with a wide dynamic range, which contributes to the difficulties of neural network training. Creating the training data set for such applications becomes costly, if not impossible. In order to overcome the challenge, one can employ an active learning technique known as query-based learning (QBL) to add performance-critical data to the training set during the learning phase, thereby efficiently improving the overall learning/generalization. The performance-critical data can be obtained using an inverse mapping called network inversion (discrete network inversion and continuous network inversion) followed by oracle query. This paper …

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.

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.
