The Effect of Power System Stabilizer on Small Signal Stability in Single-Machine Infinite-Bus

Power system oscillations are a characteristic of the system and they are inevitable. Power System Stabilizer (PSS) can help the damping of power system oscillations. This controller has become an accepted solution for oscillatory instability problems and thus improves system stability. Small signal stability is the system ability to maintain synchronism when a small disturbance occurs. This study provides an analysis of the small signal stability of the power system under different system conditions and operating loads. Several simulations have been done to show the effect of the line parameters on the power system oscillations stability.
