Power system oscillations have been long recognized as a problem of great interest in the electric power industry.
The main objective of this work focuses on stabilization of inter-area power oscillations motivated by the fact that
many catastrophic blackout events with the consequent multi-billion-dollar economic losses were due to the
presence of unstable inter-area modes of oscillations. This study will explore dual fuzzy logic controllers to
orchestrate a coordinated switching strategy for dual dynamic braking resistors, as a cost-effective method, for
stabilization of inter-area power oscillations in Kundur’s two-area test system. Comparative simulation study via
MATLAB/Simulink-based modeling and simulation environment of the test model with and without the suggested
stabilization regime will demonstrate its effectiveness in stabilizing inter-area oscillations. |
