An H/sub 2/ optimal adaptive power system stabilizer

Application of an H/sub 2/ optimal adaptive control algorithm as a power system stabilizer is described in this paper. The algorithm deals with disturbance attenuation in the sense of H/sub 2/ norm for nonlinear systems. Results of simulation and experimental studies suggest that the H/sub 2/ optimal control algorithm could be successfully used for the control of nonlinear systems such as synchronous generators.
