Abstract
In this study, adaptive PSS using measurable state variables at generator buses is developed. The PSS parameters are tuned based on eigenvalue analysis for a low-order simple linear model of each generator obtained by identification. The low-order model consists of block diagram of PSS and relationship from output of PSS to input of PSS with limited variables which are identified by least squares method using ΔPe and Δω measured at each generator bus. The identification for the PSS parameter tuning is repeated. The PSS parameters are tuned every second to keep power system stable. Digital simulations for transient stability analysis are carried out for IEEJ WEST 10-machine system model. It is made clear that the stability is improved only when dominant oscillation is identified at generator bus.
