Adaptive fuzzy sliding mode control of SVC and TCSC for improving the dynamic performance of power systems

FACTS devices have recently received great attention in the damping of power systems. In this paper, the simultaneous application of TCSC and SVC is proposed to improve power system dynamics. In order to obtain a better performance, different control methodologies can be used to control the FACTS devices. In this paper, an adaptive fuzzy sliding mode control (AFSMC) system is employed for the control of SVC and TCSC to improve the dynamic stability. The results show that the proposed scheme with AFSMC system can greatly improve the dynamic performance of the sample power system.
