Abstract—This paper describes the improvement in stability by reducing the damping oscillations in one area power system using a power system stabilizer. A power system model, which includes both LFC and AVR loops, is considered. Low-frequency oscillation studies are made.PSS is designed to improve the stability of the system. The simulation results obtained indicate that, adding a PSS to a combined model of LFC and AVR improves the dynamic stability by reducing the low-frequency oscillations.
LFC since many years [7]-[8], but these researches gave little attention to AVR effects on the results. In fact, in LFC power system control literature there is a lack of stability analysis for AVR effects or the mutual effects between these loops. Usually, these studies are based on the assumption that there is no interaction between the power/frequency and the reactivepower/voltage control loops. But in practical systems some interactions between these control channels do exist during dynamic perturbations [9]. Also by neglecting the effect of voltage deviation on load demand, an important interaction in LFC systems is ignored. A combined model with LFC and AVR loops and their mutual effects is considered. In this paper the power system is designed by adding a PSS to a combined model of LFC and AVR loops in order to improve for more dynamic stability. The interaction of coupling effects between LFC and AVR loops are shown [3] and also the performance of proposed model is shown with simulations. The results of the proposed method with PSS are compared with a combined model without adding PSS and also by separate models of LFC and AVR loops without any interaction between those loops. The simulations are shown by adding a PSS to a combined model of LFC and AVR loops. It is observed that this proposed model can improve the dynamic stability of a complete power system by reducing the damping oscillations.

I. INTRODUCTION The change in operating conditions of a power system leads to low frequency oscillations of small magnitude that may exist for long periods of time. In some cases these oscillations will limit the amount of power transmitted through interconnecting lines. So a power system stabilizer is designed to provide an additional input signal to the excitation system in order to damp these power system oscillations [1]. The interconnected power system model for low frequency oscillation studies should be composed of mechanical and electrical loops. These oscillations can be damped by varying the exciter and speed-governor control parameters [2]. Furthermore, it has been shown that the load-voltage characteristic of the power system has a significant effect on its dynamic responses, and suggestions have been made for the proper representation of these characteristics in simulation studies [3]-[5].For economic and reliable operation of a power system, the two main control loops are required. The Load Frequency Controller loop (LFC) and Automatic Voltage Regulator loop (AVR) as shown in Figure 1. The turbine is fed by speed governor whose steam rate can be controlled by varying the internal parameters. Automatic Generation Control method deals with frequency through the LFC loop and with voltage through the AVR loop. The main purpose of these two loops is to maintain frequency and voltage at permissible levels [6]. Lot of studies have been made about

comprises of excitation control mechanism and its main aim is to control the field current of the synchronous machine. Here the controlling of field current is to regulate the voltage generation by the machine. The maximum permissible limit for voltage is about 5 6% .
II. LOAD FREQUENCY CONTROL Load Frequency Control (LFC) loop is the basic control mechanism loop in the operation of power system. As the active power demand changes continuously with respect to load changes ,steam input to turbo-generators (water input to hydro-generators) must be continuously regulated in order to maintain the constant active power demand, failing which the machine speed changes with consequent change in frequency which may be highly undesirable. The maximum permissible change in power frequency is about ± 0.5Hz. Hence continuous regulation is to be provided by the LFC system to the generator turbine. At the time of Load change, the deviation from the nominal frequency is referred as frequency error (∆f), This symbol indicates that there is a mismatch and it can be used to send the appropriate command to change the generation by altering the LFC system [6].From Figure 2, it is seen that there are two control loops, one is primary control loop and the other one is secondary control loop. With primary control loop, if there is any change in system load, it will result in to a steady-state frequency deviation, which depends on the governor speed regulation. To nullify the frequency deviation, we should provide a reset action. The reset action is accomplished by secondary control loop which introduces an integral controller to act on the load reference setting in order to change the speed at the desirable operating point. Here the integral controller increases the system type by 1 which forces and makes the final frequency deviation to zero. Thus by using integral controller action in LFC system a zero steady state frequency error and a fast dynamic response will be achieved. The gain of the integral controller should be adjusted such that its transient response is satisfactory. The negative sign for gain of integral controller shown in Figure 2 is to provide a negative or reduced command signal for a positive frequency error.

The Amplifier and Exciter block shown in Figure 3 regulates and amplifies input control signals to an appropriate level which is convenient to provide DC power to the generator field winding. This block must be expandable if the excitation system has rotating exciter and voltage regulator [2]. Depending upon how the DC supply is given to the generator field winding, the excitation systems are classified as DC, AC, and Static excitation systems [1]. IV. MATHEMATICAL MODELLING OF POWER SYSTEM In order to improve the dynamic stability of overall system, modeling of major components of power system is required. The study of low frequency oscillation studies is completely based on a single machine connected to an infinite bus system [2]. The single machine connected to an infinite bus system through transmission lines with a local load is shown in Figure 4. Here Z is the series impedance of transmission line and Y is the shunt admittance representing the local load.

The basic function of a power system stabilizer (PSS) is to provide an additional input signal to the regulator to damp the Power System oscillations. This can be achieved by modulating the generator excitation in order to produce a component of electrical torque in phase with the rotor speed deviations. Some of the commonly used input signals are rotor speed deviation, accelerating power, and frequency deviation. A block diagram model of PSS is shown in Figure 6.

The frequency deviation (∆f) is used as input signal for PSS. Here the PSS will generate a pure damping torque at all frequencies that is the phase characteristics of PSS must balance the phase characteristics of GEP(s) at all frequencies. As this is not practicable, the time constants of PSS are to be adjusted in order to produce the phase compensation characteristic which shows the best performance [11]. The model of PSS shown in Figure 6 consists of three blocks, phase compensation block, washout filter block and gain block. The phase compensation block provides a suitable phase-lead characteristic to compensate the phase lag between the input of the exciter and the machine electric torque. The transfer function GEP(s) of the block shown with dashed lines in in figure 5 which represents the characteristics of the generator excitation and power system is given by [11]

From the simulations results shown in Figures 7-10 it can be observed that, by using PSS the settling time is reduced with a better dynamic stability. Hence desirable damping for low frequency oscillations in overall single-area power system is achieved.

The washout block acts as a high-pass filter. For local mode of oscillations, the washout time constant should be in between 1 to 2s for desirable operating point [12]. The PSS gain is chosen such that it is fraction of gain corresponding to instability [11].The PSS complete transfer function is given by

Where GEP(s) is the plant transfer function through which the stabilizer must provide compensation. TW is washout time constant. KS is the gain of the stabilizer. T1 and T2 are the time constants of phase compensator. An optimal stabilizer is obtained by the proper selection of the time constants and gain of the PSS. V. SIMULATION RESULTS In this paper a power system stabilizer is designed to show the improvement in dynamic response for combined model of LFC and AVR. In this study the performance of the proposed model of PSS with combined LFC and AVR is compared with combined model of LFC and AVR loops and also with classic model of load frequency control system by separating AVR loop (i.e. excitation system). The simulations shown in this paper are carried out using MATLAB platform. The simulations results shown in this paper are performed by assuming real power as 0.9 pu, reactive power as 0.61 pu and the machine terminal voltage as 0.91 pu.
