A Backstepping Integral Sliding Mode Controller Design for Partial Feedback Linearized Models of Synchronous Generators in Simple Power Systems to Improve the Transient Stability

This paper proposes a backstepping integral sliding mode controller (BISMC) based on the partial feedback linearization (PFBL) of the detailed model of synchronous generators (SGs) in simple power networks. The proposed scheme is designed to obtain the excitation control input using the detailed model of SGs in a simple power system where the PFBL is used to simplify the model. The BISMC is employed on this simplified model to ensure the transient stability during large disturbances. The inherent property of the BISMC tackles the chattering and overcomes the parameter sensitivity problem of the PFBL scheme. Simulation studies are conducted under different operating situations to justify the effectiveness of the proposed PFBL-BISMC over a partial feedback linearizing controller (PFBLC).
