The design of optimal neurocontrollers that replace the conventional automatic voltage regulators for excitation control of turbogenerators in a multimachine power system is presented in this paper. The neurocontroller design is based on dual heuristic programming (DHP), a powerful adaptive critic technique. The feedback variables are completely based on local measurements from the generators. Simulations on a three-machine power system demonstrate that DHP based neurocontrol is much more effective than the conventional PID control for improving dynamic performance and stability of the power grid under small and large disturbances. This paper also shows how to design optimal multiple neurocontrollers for …

The increasing complexity of a modern power grid highlights the need for advanced system identification techniques for effective control of power systems. This paper provides a new method for nonlinear identification of turbogenerators in a 3-machine 6-bus power system using online trained feedforward neural networks. Each turbogenerator in the power system is equipped with a neuro-identifier, which is able to identify its particular turbogenerator and the rest of the network to which it is connected from moment to moment, based on only local measurements. Each neuro-identifier can then be used in the design of a nonlinear neurocontroller for each turbogenerator …

Based on derivative adaptive critics, neurocontrollers for excitation and turbine control of multiple generators on the electric power grid are presented. The feedback variables are completely based on local measurements. Simulations on a three-machine power system demonstrate that the neurocontrollers are much more effective than conventional PID controllers, the automatic voltage regulators and the governors, for improving the dynamic performance and stability under small and large disturbances

Based on derivative adaptive critics, a novel nonlinear optimal voltage/excitation control for a multimachine power system is presented. The feedback variables are completely based on local measurements. Simulations on a three-machine system demonstrate that the nonlinear controller is much more effective than the conventional PID controller equipped with a power system stabilizer for improving dynamic performance and stability under small and large disturbances.
