Design of PSS and STATCOM Parameters Simultaneously Using Intelligent Method (BRGA)

This paper presents a new intelligent algorithm, named binary real genetic algorithm (BRGA) to design parameters of PSS and STATCOM controller simultaneously. The proposed algorithm has a strong search capability and high speed convergence to find the global optimum points. The objective function used in this paper to be minimized is the time integral absolute error (ITAE). The objective will be minimizing the deviations of rotor speed () and the voltage of the bus in which STATCOM has been installed. The simulations are carried out on a two-area four-machine power system to show the superior performance of the proposed method, when compared with GA and PSO algorithms.
