The increasing complexity of modern power systems highlights the need for effective system identification techniques for the successful control of power system. This paper proposes a robust continually online trained neuroidentifier to predict the outputs of turbogenerator - terminal voltage and speed deviation. The inputs to the neuro-identifier are the changes of the plant's outputs and plant's inputs. It overcomes the drawback of calculating deviation signals from reference signals for different operating points in previous work. Simulation results show that the neuro-identifier can provide accurate identification under different operating conditions. Furthermore, the neuro-identifier can learn the dynamics of the system …

Based on Dual Heuristic Programming (DHP), a real-time implementation of a neurocontroller for excitation and turbine control of a turbogenerator in a multimachine power system is presented. The feedback variables are completely based on local measurements. Simulation and real-time hardware implementation on a three-machine system demonstrate that the DHP neurocontroller is much more effective than conventional PID controllers, the automatic voltage regulator, power system stabilizer and the governor, for improving dynamic performance and stability under small and large disturbances.

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 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 proportional-integral-derivative 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 …

This paper presents the design and practical hardware implementation of optimal neurocontrollers that replace the conventional automatic voltage regulator (AVR) and the turbine governor of turbogenerators on multimachine power systems. The neurocontroller design uses a powerful technique of the adaptive critic design (ACD) family called dual heuristic programming (DHP). The DHP neurocontroller's training and testing are implemented on the Innovative Integration M67 card consisting of the TMS320C6701 processor. The measured results show that the DHP neurocontrollers are robust and their performance does not degrade unlike the conventional controllers even when a power system stabilizer (PSS) is included, for changes in …
