Introduction Budget constraints in a world ravenous for electrical power have led utility companies to operate generating stations with full power and sometimes at the limit of stability. In such drastic con- ditions the occurrence of any contingency or disturbance may lead to a critical situation starting with poorly damped oscillations fol- lowed by loss of synchronism and power system instability. The occurrence of these low frequency oscillations reduces at best the power-transfer capability of power systems. Moreover they are associated with the rotor angle of the synchronous machines when operating in an interconnected system through long trans- mission lines [1,2] with other generation systems and continue to grow causing loss of synchronism and system separation if no adequate response is promptly taken. In the past decades, the uti- lization of supplementary excitation control signals for improving power system stability has received much attention. Early used stabilizers, conventional power system stabilizer (CPSS), relied on fixed lag-lead compensators tuned using a linear- ized power system model for a specific operating point [3,4]. Since power systems are highly nonlinear with configurations and parameters changing with time, CPSS cannot handle large changes in operating conditions. Adaptive power system stabilizers have been proposed [5,6] to adequately deal with these varying operat- ing conditions. Adaptive stabilizers provide better dynamic perfor- mance over a wide range of operating conditions, but they suffer from the major drawback of requiring parameter model identifica- tion, state observation and on-line feedback gain computation. Recently, PSS design has undergone the advent of artificial intel- ligence such as fuzzy logic [7,8] and artificial neural network [9,10], techniques which do not require a precise mathematical model of the system to be controlled, nevertheless fixed-parame- ters control prevent from obtaining satisfying performance in case of operating condition changes such as a sudden loading modifica- tion or in the event of a major disturbance such as short-circuit, although it is less sensitive than CPSSs. To overcome these difficulties, Adaptive fuzzy logic controllers have been applied to the design of PSS in a large number of papers [11–17] that grasp the merits of adaptive and fuzzy logic tech- niques and overcomes theirs drawbacks.

    In the design of the proposed stabilizer, generator speed devia-tion and its derivative are selected as input signals to a fuzzy logicsystem that approximates unknown nonlinear functions of thepower system model and PI control term is used to eliminate chat-tering phenomenon in the design of SMC. Based on the Lyapunovtheory, adaptation laws are developed to make the fuzzy slidingmode controller adaptive and the PI parameters can be tuned on-line by adaptation law to take care of the changes due to the vary-ing operating conditions and to guarantee power system stability.

    It is clear that speed deviation and electrical power are easilymeasurable directly. For this reason, we have chosen the slidingmode surface according to these variables, on the other hand in[29,30] the authors use the rotor angle, delta which is more deli-cate to measure. High order sliding modes (HOSM), in our opinion,are also computationally far more demanding and not as straightforward as our proposed controller.

    The authors in [29,30] propose HOSM for multi-machine powersystems, in which they assume that all machine parameters areprecisely known and use an observer to estimate the non-measur-able states system. In our work, the nonlinear functions describingthe power system are not known and system parameters are con-sidered known imprecisely which is more realistic than relying onan exact mathematical system model hard if not impossible to ac-quire. Actual speed deviation and accelerating power of the associ-ated generator are obtained on-line and are used as inputs to thefuzzy logic systems. Moreover PI parameters can be tuned on-line.

    The performance of the newly designed controller is evaluatedin a two-area four machine power system under different typesof disturbances in comparison with the indirect adaptive fuzzypower system stabilizer approach (AFPSS). Simulation results showthe effectiveness and robustness of the proposed stabilizer inenhancing power system oscillations damping under various dis-turbances. Moreover, it outperforms other types of PSS consideredin this paper.

    2. Multi-machine power system model

    In order to design the power system controller proposed in thispaper, the generator dynamics model can be expressed in a canon-ical form given in [31], using speed variation (x1) and the acceler-ating power (x2) are used as state variables and can be measured.The synchronous machine system model can be represented inthe following non-linear state-space equations form:

    D _xi 12Hi DPi12Hi

    D _Pi fiDxi;DPi giDxi;DPiuiyi Dxi 1

    where x1i = Dxi =xi x0 is the speed deviation and x2i = DPi =Pmi Pei is the accelerating power, xi is the angular speed in perunits, Hi is the per unit machine inertia constant, Pmi is the mechan-ical input power treated as a constant in the excitation controllerdesign and Pei is delivered electrical power. Eq. (1) represents themachine during a transient period after a major disturbance has oc-curred in the system. It has been assumed that two nonlinear func-tions fi and gi can be found [12,32]:

    _Pei 2Hif x1i; x2i gx1i; x2iui 2It is known that a positive u will cause a positive change in Pei, -

    i.e. _Pei > 0 whenever ui > 0. This means that g is a negative function.gi(x1i, x2i) < 0 for all x1i, x2i.

    In generic terms, the equation set (1) for ith generator is

    _x1 ax2a _x2 f x1; x2 gx1; x2uy x1 3where a = 1/2H and x = [x1, x2]T = [Dx, DP]T 2 R2 is a measurablestate vector. PSS output u represents the supplementary control sig-nal to be designed and y = Dx is the considered output while f and gare nonlinear system functions assumed unknown.

    3. Indirect adaptive fuzzy sliding mode control based PSS design

    3.1. Sliding mode control design

    The control objective is to force y in the system (3) to track abounded desired trajectory yd, under the constraint that all vari-ables involved must be bounded. The control objective [31,33] isto determine a feedback control u = u(x|h) and an adaptation lawfor adjusting the parameters vector h, such that:

    (i) The closed loop systemmust be globally stable and robust inthe sense that all variables x(t), h(t) and u(x|h), must be uni-formly bounded, i.e., |x| 6Mx 61, |h| 6Mh 61 and|u| 6Mu 61 for all tP 0, where Mx,Mh and Mu are parame-ters designer specied.

    (ii) The tracking error, e = y yd, should be as small as possibleunder the previous constraints.

    The elaboration of an indirect adaptive fuzzy sliding mode con-troller achieving the above control objectives is presented in therest of this section [23,24].

    Let the tracking error be dened as e y yd e; _eT and a slid-ing surface dened as se k1e _e kTe, where k = [k1, 1]T are thecoefcients of the Hurwitz polynomial hk k k1 If the initialerror vector e(t0) = 0, then the tracking problem can be consideredas the state error vector e remaining on the sliding surface s(e) = 0for all t > t0.

    A sufcient condition to achieve this behavior is to select a con-trol strategy such that:

    12

    ddt

    s2e 6 gjsj gP 0 4

    From (4), we have

    _s k1 _e y yd k1 _e f x gxu yd:

    5

    If f and g are known, we can easily construct the sliding modecontrol u* = ueq usw

    u 1gx k1 _e f x gsgns yd 6

    ueq 1gx k1 _e f x yd 7

    usw 1gx gsgns 8

    However, power system parameters are not well known andimprecise; therefore it is difcult to implement the control law(6) for unknown nonlinear system model. Not only f and g are un-known but the switching-type control term will cause chattering.An adaptive fuzzy sliding mode controller using fuzzy logic systemand PI control term is proposed to solve these problems.

    3.2. Fuzzy logic system

    In this section, the fuzzy logic system used is briey described.The basic conguration of the fuzzy logic systems [33] consists of a

    d Energy Systems 54 (2014) 425431collection of fuzzy IFTHEN rules:

  • tion. The inputs and output of the latter are dened as [23,24]:

    K. Saoudi, M.N. Harmas / Electrical Power and Energy Systems 54 (2014) 425431 427up kph1 kih2 13where h1 = s, h2 =

    Rsdt, kp and ki are PI control gains. Eq. (13) can be

    rewritten as

    p^hjhp hTpwh 14where hp = [kp, ki]T 2 R2 is an adjustable parameter vector, andwT(h) = [h1, h2] 2 R2 is a regressive vector. We use fuzzy logic sys-tems to approximate the unknown functions f(x), g(x) and designan adaptive PI control term eliminate chattering due to slidingmode control. Hence, the control law becomes:

    u 1g^xjhg k1

    _e f^ xjhf p^hjhp yd 15

    f^ xjhf hTf nx 16

    g^xjhg hTgnx 17In order to avoid the chattering problem, the switching term is

    replaced by a PI control action which changes continuously andwill lead to smooth out of the chattering effect when the state iswithin a boundary layer |s|
