Neurofuzzy Power System Stabilizer

An adaptive fuzzy logic power system stabilizer (AFPSS) consisting of a generalized neuron (GN)-based predictor and a fuzzy logic controller (FLC) is described. The inference mechanism of the FLC is represented by a rule-base and a database. Two parameters, decided on the basis of the GN-predictor output and the current system conditions, are used to tune the AFPSS. This mechanism of tuning makes the fuzzy logic-based power system stabilizer adaptive to changes in the operating conditions. Therefore, variation in the system response, under a wide range of operating conditions, is less compared to the system response with a fixed-parameter conventional PSS. The performance of the AFPSS has been tested by simulation and experimental studies.
