Speed deviation driven adaptive neural network based power system stabilizer

The paper presents an online adaptive artificial neural network (ANN) based power system stabilizer (PSS). The proposed controller is first trained offline using a pole placement based state feedback gain technique at different operating points. The trained ANN parameters (weights and biases) are updated and tuned online using the speed deviation as the reinforcement signal. The proposed PSS is tested at different operating conditions and a variety of regulator gains. The digital results validate the effectiveness and reliability of the new PSS in terms of fast system response under different loading conditions compared with the conventional PI controller and the modern control theory approach of pole placement.
