Nonlinear decentralized controller design for multimachine power systems using Hamiltonian function method

In this paper, we first express a multimachine power system as a Hamiltonian control system with dissipation. Then, using the Hamiltonian function method a decentralized excitation control scheme, as a static measurable feedback, is proposed to stabilize the multimachine power system. Then, it is shown that the control scheme with properly chosen parameters is also an H-infinity control, which solves the problem of disturbance attenuation simultaneously. Finally, the design technique is demonstrated by a three-machine power system. (C) 2002 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd.
