Abstract

This paper describes the design of a Power System Stabilizer (PSS) based on the State-Space Generalized Minimum Variance Controller (GMVSS) approach for damping low frequency oscillations, i.e. the interarea modes, in power systems. The work presents the identification of the benchmark grid called Kundur's Four-Machine Two-Area Test System and its evaluation, as well as a comparison between the most common PSS approaches and the state-space GMVSS one. Results show that the proposed PSS performs well for both short circuit and step in reference voltage simulations. Besides, the GMVSS based PSS presents only two tuning parameters, making the controller design more intuitive and easier than other common approaches.
