Abstract

Secure power system operation relies extensively on the analysis of transient stability and control. The dynamics involved in power system control are often complex and nonlinear. Most of the currently existing works approach these frequent problems with nonlinear control techniques, leading to a requirement for specific controller parameter adjustments. In these veins, this paper proposes a new method for stabilizing electric power systems, using nonlinear backstepping control by optimizing the controller’s parameters. The Jaya algorithm and Genetic algorithm are utilized as a powerful meta-heuristic optimization technique to search parameters of an optimal controller. Improvement in system damping, transient stability, and voltage regulation has been achieved by minimizing the integral time absolute error (ITAE) as the objective function. Numerical simulations on an SMIB power system under different fault conditions showed that the proposed method outperforms classical power system stabilizer (PSS) methods, reducing overshoots and settling times and eliminating steady-state errors. These findings highlight the effectiveness of the proposed approach and its potential contribution to the development of advanced nonlinear control techniques for electric power systems. The suggested optimization methods demonstrate superior performance, compared to classical methods, and achieve a reduction of 27.5% in overshoot and 87% in transient time in addition to complete elimination of static error.
