The power system stabilizers are used to suppress low-frequency electromechanical oscillations and improve the synchronous generator stability limits, while automatic voltage regulators control the terminal voltage of the synchronous generators.
This thesis proposes a new methodology to design of an automatic voltage regulator and power system stabilizer for salient pole synchronous generator. The power system stabilizer employs a wavelet transform for extraction of the electromechanical oscillations in electrical power systems based on the scaling coefficient energy. The detection of the electrical oscillations effectuated by the wavelet coefficient energy and a control scheme generates the signal trigger to the power system stabilizer. A hybrid strategy composed of the integration of the sliding mode control system and the standard control implements the automatic voltage regulator. The effectiveness of the proposed power system stabilizer was evaluated experimentally through of a comparative study of a conventional power stabilizer system. On the other hand, the performance of the automatic voltage regulator was assessed and compared with a linear controller and two other hybrid control strategies. Furthermore, the performance of the wavelet transform was evaluated experimentally to detect electrical and electromechanical oscillations, in which the boundary wavelet transform presents the better performance.
