In this paper, the Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) is enhanced with a Chaotic Particle Swarm Optimization (CPSO) Damping Controller in order to mitigate the Low Frequency Oscillations (LFO) in a Single Machine Infinite Bus (SMIB) power system. The designed damping controller is an optimized lead-lag controller, which extracts the speed deviation of the generator rotor and generates the out...

Non-linear controller is preferred to linear controller due to non-linear operation of DSTATCOM. System dynamic can be improved by regulating and fixing the capacitor DC voltage in DSTATCOM. The nonlinear control is based on exact linearization via feedback. There is a PI controller in this system to regulate DC voltage. In conventional scheme, the trial and error method is used to determine PI...

This paper presents a method to seek the PI controller parameters of a PMSG wind turbine to improve control performance. Since operating conditions vary with the wind speed, therefore the PI controller parameters should be determined as a function of the wind speed. Small-signal modeling of a PMSG WT is implemented to analyze the stability under various operating conditions and with eigenvalues...

This Paper presents a comparative study of Genetic Algorithm method (GA) and Particle swarm optimization (PSO) method to determine the optimal proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller parameters, for load frequency control in a single area power system. Comparing with conventional Proportional–Integral (PI) method and the proposed PSO the performance of the controller is improved for t...

Problem statement: The main objective of this research is to obtain the speed control of switched reluctance motor with minimum settling time and without overshoot.

Also speed control ...

Three-phase Induction Motor (IM) is widely used in the industry because of its rugged construction and absence of brushes. However, speed control of IM is required depending on the desired speed and application. This study proposes a design of a Proportional Integral (PI) controller using Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm to control the speed of an IM supplied from wind turbine. The w...
