Abstract

In this research, an intelligent approach based on system-centric controller to develop a power system stabilizer is proposed. This thesis designs and develops a system-centric control algorithm based on supervisory loop principle. It combines a Dual Heuristic Programming (DHP) controller and an adaptive controller implemented as a Model Reference Adaptive Controller (MRAC), to perform a hybrid control operation. A neuro-control identifier is used to approximate the nonlinear plant function and the MRAC control adapts when plant parametric set changes. A feed-forward Neural Network (NN) identifier is used to predict system response to control values and those values are adjusted to obtain improved system response. The DHP is trained offline with extensive test data and is also adjusted online. Moreover, an online neural network produces a plant functional approximation. The theoretical results are validated by conducting simulation studies on a single machine infinite bus system for electric generator control and testing on a five generator, eight bus, two area multi-machine simulation.
