Abstract
A honeybee mating optimization technique is used to tune the power system stabilizer (PSS) parameters and find optimal location of PSSs in this article. The PSS parameters and placement are computed to assure maximum damping performance under different operating conditions. One of the main advantages of the proposed approach is its robustness to the initial parameter settings. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated on two case studies as; 10‐machine 39‐buses New England (NE) power system in comparison with Tabu Search (TS) and 16 machines and 68 buses‐modified reduced order model of the NE New York interconnected system by genetic algorithm through some performance indices under different operating condition. The proposed method of tuning the PSS is an attractive alternative to conventional fixed gain stabilizer design as it retains the simplicity of the conventional PSS and at the same time guarantees a robust acceptable performance over a wide range of operating and system condition. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
