1.2. ADAPTIVE PSS
On the basis of the above analysis and observations, Alstom Power Automation & Controls has
designed an adaptive control solution, so called APSS, to adapt and tune automatically the parameters
of the system to ensure an optimized damping.

The adaptive control is a set of techniques intended to automatically adjust the parameters of the
controller, when the process characteristics and its disturbances are unknown or varying in time.
To achieve this, the adaptive PSS needs to :
track any changes in the network parameters,
Identify the model of the system,
Adapt the parameters of the corrector

In order to keep a proven PSS structure, our solution uses the existing PSS 2B according the IEEE
standard 421.5 2005.
Alstom Adaptive PSS solution is not requiring heavy method with complex calculation using high CPU
capacity. Our APSS is simply based on a division of the reactance variation range into 5 different areas.
Several sets of PSS parameter values are defined so that in each area, the PSS presents an optimized
behaviour.

parameters set #2
parameters set #3

Then, depending on the estimated value of the reactance, the adequate PSS tuning is applied on-line.

2. STUDY
2.1. STABILITY STUDY
Operating conditions of a power generator are continually changing due to load changes, faults and
many other disturbances, affecting the maximum power transfer capability. The purpose of this study is
to define the optimum sets of parameters that will be uploaded in the Automatic Voltage Regulators
(AVR+APSS) ControGen HX, to limit the impact of those disturbances by ensuring a positive damping
on the produced torque oscillations.
Alstom Adaptive Power System Stabilizer (APSS) algorithm is using PSS 2A/2B in accordance with
IEEE 421.5 - 2005.

In addition to the above describe study the following work is included in the price :
Project Management,
Project Engineering (study),
Quality control and administration according to Alstom Power Automation & Controls
Internal rules,
To realize this study a document giving different parameters will have to be completed by the
customer. The needed parameters are listed according the following split :
Generator parameters,
Line shaft parameters,
Grid characteristics,
Excitation parameters,
Also some additional information will be required such as :
Generator characteristics (open circuit saturation and air gap line),
Generator reactive capability curve,
For brushless exciter : open circuit and load characteristics,
Turbine and its Governor Model could also be implemented in our simulation as an option (if large
perturbation study are specifically requested).
This document will be sent when the contract shall become effective.
As the study and its results will be based on those parameters, in case of missing parameters, Alstom
will consider standard values and could not be considered as responsible of any discordance of the
final results. If for any reason customer decides to modify any value of the original parameters, the
extra study costs will be subject to an amendment and invoiced accordingly.
2.3. STUDY REPORT
To complete the study of the Power System Stabilizer a report will be established. This report will
include the following :
The stability study document giving the whole results and performances reached. The
following curves will be included in the report :
Stator voltage,
Active power,
Reactive power,
