✦ Synopsis

Power system transient stability is one of the most challenging technical areas in electric power industry. Thyristorcontrolled series compensation (TCSC) is expected to improve transient stability and damp power oscillations. TCSC control in power system transients is a nonlinear control problem. This paper presents a T-S-model-based fuzzy control scheme and a systematic design method for the TCSC fuzzy controller. The nonlinear power system containing TCSC is modelled as a fuzzy "blending" of a set of locally linearized models. A linear optimal control is designed for each local linear model. Di erent control requirements at di erent stages during power system transients can be considered in deriving the linear control rules. The resulting fuzzy controller is then a fuzzy "blending" of these linear controllers. Quadratic stability of the overall nonlinear controlled system can be checked and ensured using H ∞ control theory. Digital simulation with NETOMAC software has veriÿed that the fuzzy control scheme can improve power system transient stability and damp power swings very quickly.
