This paper deals with the design of a fixed-structure $H_\infty$ power system stabilizer (PSS) by using an iterative linear matrix inequality (LMI) method. The fixed-structure $H_\infty$ controller is represented in terms of LMIs with a rank condition. To solve the non-convex rank-constrained LMI problem, a linear penalty function is incorporated into the objective function so that minimizing the penalized objective function subject to LMIs amounts to a convex optimization problem. With an increasing sequence of the penalty parameter, the solution of the penalized optimization problem moves towards the feasible region of the original non-convex problem. The proposed algorithm is, therefore, convergent. Numerical experiments show the practical applicability of the proposed algorithm.

This paper presents a power system stabilizer(PSS) using the $H_{\infty}$ observer-based sliding mode controller($H_{\infty}$ observer-based SMC) for unmeasurable state variables. The effectiveness of the proposed $H_{\infty}$ observer-based SMPSS for unmeasurable state variables is shown by the simulation result.

This paper presents a power system stabilizer(PSS) using sliding mode-model following(SM-MF) including closed-loop f:edback(CLF) and compares the SM-MF PSS without CLF with that including CLF. The aim of this SM-MF PSS including CLF is to damp the low-frequency oscillation by using CLF and then is to obtain asymptotic tracking error between the reference model state and the plant state.

The computational flow analysis using LES technique was carried out to investigate the flow characteristics of a RAC chassis consisting of a rear-guider, a stabilizer and a cross-flow fan. The commercial SC/Tetra software was used in this analysis. In view of the results so far achieved, the distribution trends of static pressure and velocity vector of central region except the edges of a CFFan are similar regardless of the number of revolution, and an eccentric vortex exists around the bottom blade of a CFFan. Also, a reverse flow is found in the region between stabilizer and CFFan. Moreover, near the edges of a CFFan, an eccentric vortex is separated to two vortexes. Also these vortexes increase the velocity near a rear-guider, and guide the flow near a rear-guider into stabilizer inlet. Therefore, the reverse flow region is formed in the bottom of a CFFan.

This paper presents a analysis method for power system stability using a Modified Genetic-based Power System Stabilizer(MGPSS). The proposed MGPSS parameters are optimized using Modified Genetic Algorithm(MGA) in order to maintain optimal operation of generator under the various operating conditions. To improve the convergence characteristics, real variable string is adopted. The results tested on a single machine infinite bus system verify that the proposed controller has better power system stability than conventional controller.

Generally, the chassis of an indoor RAC is composed of a rear-guider and a stabilizer. The aerodynamic performance of a cross-flow fan is strongly influenced by the various design factors of the chassis of an indoor RAC. The purpose of this paper is to select the optimum design factors through the aerodynamic performance of a cross-flow fan. The design factors are the leading angle of a rear-guider (${\theta}_1$), a stabilizer setup angle(${\theta}_2$), a rear-guider clearance(${\epsilon}_1$), and a stabilizer clearance(${\epsilon}_2$), respectively. As a result, the optimum design factors of an indoor RAC can be presented as a combination of ${\theta}_1=33^{\circ}$, ${\theta}_2=55^{\circ}$, ${\epsilon}_1=6{\sim}8mm$, and ${\epsilon}_2=7mm$ through the analysis of a static pressure coefficient and a static pressure efficiency.

The aerodynamic performance of a cross-flow fan is strongly influenced by the various design factors of a rear-guider and a stabilizer. The design factors considered in this paper are a rear-guider clearance, a stabilizer clearance, and a stabilizer setup angle, respectively. Also, these factors are given to the various diameter ratio between a basic circle and a impeller. The static pressure and the flowrate of a cross-flow fan were measured with a fan-tester. It could be found that the useful design factors with a good aerodynamic performance exist in the certain assembly conditions of an indoor RAC. Therefore, it could be known that a new published patent determining the easy design of an indoor RAC can be applied in a variety of goods.

In this paper, optimal tuning problem of power system stabilizer using IA-QFT is investigated to improve power system dynamic stability in spite of parameter variation and disturbance uncertainties. The most important feature of QFT is that it is able to deal with the design problem of complicated uncertain plants. However, loop shaping is currently performed in computer aided design environments manually and it is usually a trial and error procedure. It is difficult to design a controller to satisfy all specifications manually. To solve this problem, a study of design automation using IA needs to be taken into account. The robustness of the proposed controller has been investigated on a single machine infinite bus model. The results are shown that the proposed PSS using IA-QFT is more robust than conventional PSS.

In this paper we present a variable structure systeme-model following adaptive control (VSS-MFAC) method for an uncertain turbo-generator system which is apt to suffer from the unmodeled parameter uncertainties and the external disturbances. The simulation results for the power system stabilizer(PSS) exhibit robust adaptive model-following properties well in the PSS designed by the proposed VSS-MFAC methodology when a step change in the mechanical torque and a parameter variation is applied.

The performance of a commercialized power system stabilizer (PWX-600) for a single hydro-turbine generator and infinite bus system has been investigated using Real Time Digital Simulator (RTDS) in this paper. The test system was composed of RTDS, three phase voltage/current amplifier and the PSS. The test scheme provided a very efficient way to verify the design and control performance of a PSS to be applied to real power system. The scheme can also be applied to verify in real time the performance of hardware and software of power system controllers for FACTS and protective relays effectively.
