Particle swarm optimization for tuning PSS-PID controller of synchronous generator

In this paper the design an optimal PSS-PID controller for single machine connected to an infinite bus (SMIB). We presented a novel application of particle swarm optimization (PSO) for the optimal tuning of the new PSS-PID controller. The proposed approach has superior features, including easy implementation, stable convergence characteristic and good computational efficiency. The synchronous generator is modeled and the PSO algorithm is implemented in Simulink of Matlab. The obtained results have proved that (PSO) are a powerful tools for optimizing the PSS parameters, and more robustness of the system IEEE SMIB.
