ABSTRACT
Power system stabilization is a major issue in the area of power systems research. The Conventional Power
System Stabilizer (CPSS) parameters are tuned by using Genetic Algorithm to achieve proper damping
over a wide range of operating conditions. The CPSS lack of robustness over wide range of operating
conditions. In this paper type-2 Fuzzy Logic Power System Stabilizer (FLPSS) is presented to improve the
damping of power system oscillations. To accomplish the best damping characteristics three signals are
chosen as in put to FLPSS. Deviation in speed ( ), deviation of speed derivative ( ) and deviation of
power angle ( ) are taken as input to fuzzy logic controller. The proposed controller is implemented for
Single Machine Infinite Bus (SMIB) power system model. The efficacy of the proposed controller is tested
over a wide range of operating conditions. The comparison between CPSS, Type-1 FLPSS and Type-2
FLPSS is presented. The results validate the effective ness of proposed Type-2 FLPSS controller in terms of
less over/under shoot, settling time and enhancing stability over wide range of generator load variations.

1. INTRODUCTION
Power system is a typical multi-variable, nonlinear and dynamical system consisting of
synchronous alternators, transmission lines, transformers, switching relays and compensators. For
keeping the terminal voltage magnitude of synchronous generator within limits, the automatic
voltage regulators (AVRs) are adopted in generator excitation system. AVRs introduce negative
damping torques, because of which the stability is adversely affected [1]. The power system
exhibits electromechanical oscillations because of load variation. These oscillations should be
damped to acceptable limitation failing which may result in instability. These oscillations can be
damped by using Power System Stabilizers. PSSs generate supplementary signals to excitations
system to suppress these oscillations [2].
The CPSSs are led-lag phase compensators tuned using a linearized model of power system for
specific operating points to provide the desired damping characteristics [3-4]. Because of
nonlinear characteristics of power systems, CPSS is not capable to adapt large changes in
operating conditions [5]. Adaptive power system stabilizers are proposed to deal with the
variation of operating conditions [6-7]. The Fuzzy Logic Power System Stabilizer (FLPSS) was

32
developed to improve the dynamic stability of power systems under wide range of operating
conditions. FLPSS shows better performance in dynamic stability compared with CPSS. The
constructed FLPSSs rely on expert knowledge which usually consists of uncertainties to certain
degree. Therefore, the corresponding fuzzy membership functions parameters [8-12]. This fuzzy
logic is also known as type-1 fuzzy logic.
Although the FLPSS have improved power systems stability, recent research has shown the
limitations of Type-1 fuzzy logic theory in considering large uncertainties and unexpected
disturbances. In order to overcome these limitations, Type-2 fuzzy logic methods are developed
[12–15]. The Type-1 fuzzy logic is further be modified to Type-2 fuzzy by applying grading to
the membership functions which to form Type-2 fuzzy sets. A Type-2 fuzzy set can be envisaged
as a three dimensional set and results in an extra degree of freedom for handling uncertainties
[16]. Because of this feature, a robust FLPSS is designed using Type-2 fuzzy logic [17]. The
proposed controller is simulated for a SMIB and compared with conventional controller and
Type-1 fuzzy controller under various operating conditions [18]. Results show that the Type-2
fuzzy controllers guarantee the robust performance over a wide range of operating conditions.
2. POWER SYSTEM MODEL
The power system under study is a single machine connected to an infinite bus through a tie-line.
The infinite bus is represented by the thevenin equivalent of a large inter connected power
system. The machine is outfitted with a static exciter. The non-linear model of the system is
described using following differential equations [1].
= (1)
= (2)
=
(3)
= (4)
The above equations can be linearized around an operating point for small deviations and is
considered from [19].
2.1. Conventional Power System Stabilizers
For the system considered to analyze the enhancement of stability margin, the limit cycles are
controlled by designing an adaptive lead-lag PSS, whose parameters tuned are 1 2K,T ,T and
Washout time constant, wT is considered as 10 seconds. The single stage PSS with Wash-Out is
in the form

The parameters of Power System stabilizer (PSS) can be derived from conventional methods or
Meta heuristic methods [19-20].

2.2 Type-1 Fuzzy Logic Power System Stabilizer
The analytical structure of three input three output T1 FLPSS similar to PID Controller is
designed heuristically with 27 rules listed in Table 1 [18].

In the Type-1 FLPSS controller, the gains are converted to adaptive gains by introducing FLC at
the input of the PID Controller. The parameters are tuned by using a systematic approach [18].
2.3 Type-2 fuzzy logic controllers
Fuzzy logic system using ordinary fuzzy sets, inference and logic is known as Type-1 fuzzy
system [21-22]. A fuzzy logic system using Type-2 fuzzy sets and fuzzy logic and inference is
called a Type-2 fuzzy system. A third dimension and footprint of uncertainty is incorporated in
Type-2 fuzzy system. Thus, under the state of high uncertainty the type-2 fuzzy logic controller
can perform better than its type-1 counterpart [23]. The type-2 fuzzy logic stabilizer includes a
Fuzzifier, a rule base, fuzzy inference engine and an output processor. The block diagram
representation of type-2 fuzzy logic controller is shown in Figure1.
Figure 1 Type-2 Fuzzy Logic System

34
The grade of membership of type-1 fuzzy sets is crisp and that of type-2 fuzzy is fuzzy, hence
Type-2 fuzzy sets are ‘fuzzy–fuzzy’ sets. The membership grade of a type-2 fuzzy logic set is a
fuzzy itself [16]. Membership function in interval type-2 fuzzy set can be represented by using as
an area called Footprint of Uncertainty (FOU). Working of Type-2 fuzzy is same as the working
of Type-1 fuzzy. Type-2 fuzzy is an interval fuzzy system where fuzzy operation is taken as two
Type-1 membership functions, Upper Membership Function (UMF) and Lower Membership
Function (LMF), to produce the firing strength. This UMF and LMF will limit the FOU. Figure 2
represents Interval type-2 membership function.
Figure 2. Type-2 interval membership function
A type-2 fuzzy set comprises of two individual membership functions known as primary and
secondary. Hence, both primary and secondary membership functions will be in the interval [0,
1]. Since, the FOU is designed over an interval, Type-2 fuzzy logic controller can also be referred
as interval Type-2 fuzzy logic controller. The effect of considering their FOU over an interval
gives the 3-dimensional effect and an extra degree of freedom for handling uncertainties in the
Power system stability. The implementation of interval type-2 membership functions and
operators is done by using the IT2FLS toolbox [16].
Type-1 fuzzy system uses ordinary fuzzy sets and inference, whereas type-2 fuzzy system uses
type-2 fuzzy sets and inference [14]. Type-1 fuzzy controllers have been developed and applied to
practical problems.
Defuzzification is a process of mapping from fuzzy logic control action to a non-fuzzy (crisp)
control action using centroid method. Figure 3 describes the process of Defuzzification of
interval Type-2 fuzzy system using centroid method. The Inference system uses a fuzzy reasoning
mechanism to derive a fuzzy output.

3. CONCLUSIONS
In this paper a type-2 FLPSS is implemented to increase the dynamic stability of SMIB system.
Different operating points were used to test robustness of the proposed controller. The efficacy in
damping of oscillations of proposed controller is compared with type-1 FLPSS and CPSS. Type-2
FLPSS makes the system settle faster compared to type-1 FLPSS and CPSS. Results show that
even when operating conditions change, type-2 FLPSS provides good damping and improves
system performance.
