Synchronous generator stability is an essential issue in the studies of dynamic performance of electric power systems. One important category of stability analysis is the low-frequency oscillations of machine rotor due to disturbances to which the power system is susceptible. These oscillations may sustain and grow in magnitude to cause machine separation if adequate damping is not provided. To enhance system damping, the generating unit is equipped with a power system stabilizer (PSS). Conventional PSS's are widely utilized to damp the low-frequency inertial oscillations. The design of such stabilizers involves finding the set of PSS parameters which yield the best achievable damping response. Several design approaches were proposed over the years and some of them are given in the literature review of this study. A novel genetic-algorithm based optimization approach to design a robust PSS is presented in this study. The proposed approach employs optimization of damping to obtain minimum speed deviation and best possible time-domain transient performance. The single machine infinite bus system is used in this work. Simulations of the linearized system in addition to a simpower model based on the SimPowerSystems(R) are presented. The machine speed response has been investigated for both models in the case of Classic-PSS and GA-PSS designs. Their results are compared at different operating conditions, and the comparison shows that the proposed method gives encouraging results against classic method based on system response while being subjected to disturbances which mean that the system maintains its stability during (±20 %) of perturbations in the load or the system is robustly stable.

Algorithms and Architectures for Real-Time Control 2000
<p>The 6th IFAC Workshop on Algorithms and Architectures for Real-Time Control (AARTC'2000) was held at Palma de Mallorca, Spain. The objective, as in previous editions, was to show the state-of-the-art and to present new developments and research results in software and hardware for real-time control, as well as to bring together researchers, developers and practitioners, both from the academic and the industrial world.</p> <p>The AARTC'2000 Technical Program consisted of 11 presented sessions, covering the major areas of software, hardware and applications for real-time control. In particular, sessions adressed robotics, embedded systems, modeling and control, fuzzy logic methods, industrial process control and manufacturing systems, neural networks, parallel and distributed processing, processor architectures for control, software design tools and methodologies, and SCADA and multi-layer control. A total of 38 papers were selected from high-quality full draft papers and late breaking paper contributions (consisting of extended abstracts). Participants from 15 countries attended the AARTC'2000 workshop.</p> <p>The technical program also included two plenary talks given by leading experts in the field. Roger Goodall (Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering, Loughborough University, UK) presented "Perspectives on processing for real-time control", and Ricardo Sanz (Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, Spain), focused on "CORBA for Control Systems". Another highlight in the program was the final session on industrial presentations which was held in common with the Workshop on Real-Time Programming (WRTP'2000). In this session, Abel Jiménez (Industria de Turbo Propulsores S. A., Spain) presented the "Thrust Vectoring System Control Concept", Ulrich Schmid (Technische Universität Wien, Austria) made a presentation with the title "Applied Research: A Scientist's Perspective", and Harold W. Lawson (Lawson Konsult AB, Sweden) addressed "Systems Engineering of a Successful Train Control System".</p>
