Modelling and analysis of a PSS application for LFC in hydro-electric power plant

Abstract

The main objective of this paper is modelling and analysis of the effects of the power system stabilizer (PSS) for load frequency control (LFC) system in hydro-electric power plant to damp the frequency oscillations due to different load distributions. LFC is the mechanism by which the energy balance is maintained. PSS is used to increase the system positive damping. The results of small signal stability analysis have been represented employing eigenvalue as well as time domain response.
