Performance Analysis of Conjugate Gradient Algorithms Applied to the Neuro-Fuzzy Feedback Linearization-Based Adaptive Control Paradigm for Multiple HVDC Links in AC/DC Power System

The existing literature predominantly concentrates on the utilization of the gradient descent algorithm for control systems' design in power systems for stability enhancement. In this paper, various flavors of the Conjugate Gradient (CG) algorithm have been employed to design the online neuro-fuzzy linearization-based adaptive control strategy for Line Commutated Converters' (LCC) High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) links embedded in a multi-machine test power system. The conjugate gradient algorithms are evaluated based on the damping of electro-mechanical oscillatory modes using MATLAB/Simulink. The results validate that all of the conjugate gradient algorithms have outperformed the gradient descent optimization scheme and other conventional and non-conventional control schemes.
