ABSTRACT
There have been a variety of studies developed to design static Var compensator (SVC) to enhance damping of electromechanical oscillations in power systems. This paper presents a novel method towards an optimal designing of SVC damping controller using shuffled frog-leaping algorithm (SFLA). The optimal parameters of the SVC controller are obtained using SFLA considering different loading conditions. A time-domain objective function is minimized using SFLA to find the optimum controller parameters. The proposed algorithm is implemented on a test system with different loading conditions. The damping characteristics of the presented technique are compared with genetic algorithm (GA) and bacteria foraging optimization algorithm (BFOA) in tuning SVC controller. The comparative analysis demonstrates the superiority of the proposed method on a wide range of operating conditions.
