Abstract
Abstract - This article presents the application of support vector machines to adaptive power system stabilizer design in a multi-machine power system based on the harmony search algorithm. Data from a multi-machine power system are the input features of the support vector machines. Support vector machine parameters and power system features are simultaneously optimized by harmony search based on the k-fold cross-validation technique. The proposed algorithm is trained by the optimal support vector machine parameters and optimal power system features. Power system stabilizer parameters produced by the proposed algorithm can be adapted by various operating conditions when the power system operates either inside or outside the training ranges. Simulation studies in the IEEJ Western Japan ten-machine power system demonstrate that the proposed algorithm is far superior to conventional power system stabilizers with fixed parameters and those designed by a robust coupled vibration model under various operating conditions and severe disturbances. © 2014 Copyright Taylor and Francis Group, LLC.
