Abstract :
Digital power system stabilizers have opened new avenues for applying innovative control strategies to damp generator rotor oscillations at steam and hydroelectric power plants. This paper describes test results from simulation studies and field tests where a self-tuning control algorithm was tested using a digital stabilizer. The simulation studies indicated a marked improvement in local mode damping and a contribution to damping at the inter-area mode while initial tests at power plants gave promising results
