Neuro-Fuzzy Sliding Mode Control based Wide Area Power System Stabilizer For Transient Stability Improvement

This article proposes an adaptive neuro-fuzzy sliding mode control based power system stabilizer (ANFSMC-PSS) with an aim to minimize low frequency oscillations (LFOs) arising due to disturbances in the power system. The proposed ANFSMC-PSS is a combination of sliding mode control (SMC) and neuro fuzzy system (NFS) to enhance stability of power system. Here, stability is assured through Lyapunov criterion. The proposed ASMT2NF-PSS considers both local signal (speed deviation) and remote signal (accelerating power) provided by PMUs as input signals and its efficacy is investigated in both single machine infinite bus (SMIB) and multimachine power system (MMPS) under various disturbance conditions. The simulation results clearly shows that the proposed ANFSMC-PSS gives superior oscillation damping performance as compared to that of fuzzy sliding mode control based PSS (FSMC-PSS), sliding mode control based PSS (FSMC-PSS) and conventional lead-lag based PSS (CPSS) under different disturbance conditions.
