Simultaneous coordination of power system stabilizers and FACTS device stabilizers in a multimachine power system for enhancing dynamic performance

By using the concept of induced torque coefficients, a method is developed for the simultaneous coordination of power system stabilizers (PSSs) and FACTS device stabilizers (FDSs) in order to enhance the damping of the rotor modes of oscillation in a multimachine system. The proposed coordination scheme employs linear programming. However, because eigenanalysis using the QR algorithm is required, it is limited to systems with less than 600-700 states. A case study is given which illustrates the coordination of PSSs and FDSs in a three-area system with 29 stations, 3 SVCs and 400 states.
