Intelligent optimal control of excitation and turbine systems in power networks

The increasing complexity of the modern power grid highlights the need for advanced modeling and control techniques for effective control of excitation and turbine systems. The crucial factors affecting the modern power systems today is voltage control and system stabilization during small and large disturbances. Simulation studies and real-time laboratory experimental studies carried out are described and the results show the successful control of the power system excitation and turbine systems with adaptive and optimal neurocontrol approaches. Performances of the neurocontrollers are compared with the conventional PI controllers for damping under different operating conditions for small and large disturbances
