Abstract

In this paper, an excitation controller is designed by the variable structure control theory to improve the transient stability of a single machine infinite bus system. The pole assignment techniques are employed for determining the switching hyper plane. The computer simulation and an experiment in a scaled power system show that the designed controller can provide effective damping torque and improve the dynamic performance for the power system.
