Simultaneous Coordinated Tuning of PSS and FACTS Damping Controllers Using Improved Particle Swarm Optimization

This paper deals with the simultaneous coordinated tuning of the power system stabilizer (PSS) controllers and the flexible ac transmission system (FACTS) power oscillation damping controllers in power system. A new particle swarm optimization approach is proposed for the design of optimal PSS and FACTS power oscillation damping (POD). Simulation results of multi-machine power system validate the efficiency of this approach.
