Optimal Power System Stabilizer Design Using Craziness Particle Swarm Optimization In Sulselrabar System

Power System Stabilizer (PSS) is a supplementary control that provides additional control actions on the excitation side of the generator. In this study a Craziness Particle Swarm Optimization (CRPSO) based tuning method is proposed to optimize the PSS parameters. CRPSO is a development of the conventional PSO method, where in conventional PSO there is a tendency to achieve premature convergence. This condition causes the solution obtained to be the optimum local. With optimal PSS parameters, the optimal PSS performance is obtained. The combination of PSS and excitation is used to reduce the oscillation that occurs in the system. In this research a case study of load addition and load shedding is used. From the simulation results, it is found that system performance is more optimal using CRPSO than using conventional PSO. System performance is shown by the response of the generator speed and rotor angle which results in a small overshoot and a faster settling time when there is an increase in load and also load shedding. Increased system performance is also viewed from the negative system eigenvalue, negative eigenvalue indicates the system is stable.
