Design of self-tuning PID power system stabilizers for synchronous generators

Journal Article · · IEEE Trans. Power Electronics; (United States)

A new technique for the excitation control of a synchronous generator is presented in this paper. The proposed technique employs a self-tuning proportional-integral-derivative (PID) power system stabilizer in order to improve the dynamic performance of a synchronous machine under a wide range of operating condition. Digital simulation of a synchronous machine subject to a major disturbance of a three phase fault under different operating conditions is performed to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed controller. It is found that the self-tuning PID stabilizer can enhance both the transient stability and the dynamic performance of the synchronous machine.
