In introduction,
this paper investigates the application of TCSC hybrid
controller for improving damping inter-area modes of
oscillations. The proposed controller comprised fuzzy
logic proportional and derivative controller with the
conventional proportional and integral controller (FUZZY
PD + PI) turn by genetic algorithm techniques.
Approaching the proposed control scheme implements the
characteristics of the GA’s global optimization to
optimize the FPID control parameters, KP, KI and K to
obtain the best control effect by minimizing the
integral time square error online. The performance of
the proposed hybrid control in increasing the damping of
local and inter-area modes of oscillation is
demonstrated in a two area four machine 11-bus systems
and a practical reduce system of south Malaysian power
network called TNB 25-bus system. Results shows that
this type of hybrid control is proved to be more robust
and effective in damping electromechanical oscillations
of the power systems in comparison with the conventional
PID regulators used for TCSC control. The GA
optimization technique is also found to be effective and
efficient in tuning the FPID parameters.
