Abstract

Based on Dual Heuristic Programming (DHP), a real-time implementation of a neurocontroller for excitation and turbine control of a turbogenerator in a multimachine power system is presented. The feedback variables are completely based on local measurements. Simulation and real-time hardware implementation on a three-machine system demonstrate that the DHP neurocontroller is much more effective than conventional PID controllers, the automatic voltage regulator, power system stabilizer and the governor, for improving dynamic performance and stability under small and large disturbances.
