Abstract

Synchronous static compensator (STATCOM) can be used to improve the dynamic performance of a power system. This article presents an online adaptive pole-shift method for stabilization of a single machine system which is then extended to a multi-machine system. An adaptive linear plant parameter model is used to derive the pole-shift control strategy. The controller performance has been tested for various disturbances. Responses for the single machine system were also compared with optimized PI control and robustness of the proposed adaptive algorithms was tested. From a number of simulation studies on the single machine as well as the multi-machine power system it was observed that the adaptive algorithm converges very quickly and also provides robust damping profiles to the under damped power system.

 Keywords: Power system stabilizing control, STATCOM, on-line identification, adaptive control, pole - shifting control
