Sameer is a young, educated and well qualified guy with some disabilities in his body. He was without any love in his life. Accidently he talked to Sonia and strange love between them flourishes with time for one and half years without even seeing each other. Things took an ugly turn when they saw each other and Sonia was reluctant to continue relation with him because of his physical disabilities. Sameer in a rage wanted to teach her a lesson and decided to marry Mitali, his school time friend. It was a relation in rage but still he loved Sonia. At last some incidents occur and Sameer was totally changed without any love for anyone.

The conventional power plants of 1950s were equipped with continuously acting automatic voltage regulators to improve the transient stability of system. The high gain of these voltage regulators has a destabilizing effect on power system. The power oscillations of small magnitude and high frequency, which often persisted in power system, present the limitation to the amount of power transmitted within the system. Improved performance has been achieved by adding damping to the system by employing power system stabilizers (PSS). Conventionally a lead- lag PSS was used to achieve this objective but has certain demerits like sluggish response etc. The use of Artificial intelligence has gain momentum now days in power system. This book gives the overview of various artificial intelligence techniques used in PSS till now and a case study based on fuzzy logic based PSS, its performance for a grid connected synchronous generator, and finally the effect of type of membership functions on PSS. This is my second book in this area. Its a perfect book for the students, researchers and industry related experts to explore the possibility of AI techniques in power system stability problems.

The use of power system stabilizers has become very common in operation of large electric power systems.The conventional PSS which uses lead- lag compensation, where gain settings designed for specific operating conditions, is giving poor performance under different loading conditions. Therefore, it is very difficult to design a stabilizer that could present good performance in all operating points of electric power systems. In an attempt to cover a wide range of operating conditions, Fuzzy logic control has been suggested as a possible solution to overcome this problem, thereby using linguist information and avoiding a complex system mathematical model, while giving good performance under different operating conditions. Simulink Block Design and Matlab-7.5 is utilized in implementing the study. The performance of the system with fuzzy logic based power system stabilizer is compared with the system having conventional power system stabilizer and system without power system stabilizer.
