adaptive pss using a simple on-line identifier and linear pole-shift controller

implementation of an adaptive power system stabilizer (apss) and experimental studies are presented in this paper. the apss consists of an adaptive linear element (adaline) based identifier that identifies the power system as a third-order discrete auto-regressive moving average (arma) model and a pole-shift controller. the adaline is modeled so that its weights have a one-to-one relationship with the arma model parameters. the weights are updated at each sampling interval to track the dynamic characteristics of the actual system. the on-line updated arma parameters are used in the ps control algorithm to calculate the new closed-loop poles of the system that are always inside the unit circle in the z-plane. the calculated control is such that it achieves regulation of the system to a constant setpoint in the shortest interval of time. experimental studies on a physical model of power system verify that the proposed adaptive pss effectively damps the oscillations and improves power system stability.
