Optimal controller tuning for the connection of a permanent magnet synchronous machine to a power system

A methodology for the optimal tuning of vector controllers in permanent magnet synchronous generators, integrated through voltage source converts is presented. A Taboo Evolutionary Programming is used for the optimal parameter adjustment of the machine-side controllers. This algorithm takes the advantages of taboo search optimization and classic evolutionary strategies. Simulation results carried out in Matlab-Simulink demonstrates the efficiency of the proposed algorithm.
