This paper presents a new technique to design a Power System Stabilizer (PSS) in multi-machine power system. The method is based on the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm for tuning PSS parameters including lead-lag compensator time constants as well as the controller gain. For evaluating the particles evolution throughout the searching process, an eigenvalue-based multi-objective function is used. The DIgSILENT is used as tool for modelling test system and programming PSO algorithm. Then by using a fuzzy approach implemented in Matlab/fuzzy toolbox the optimal number and location for PSSs specified. Two-area (four-machine 11bus) Power system is considered as the case study in this paper. Simulation results for various operating conditions prove the capability of the proposed algorithm in damping improvement of power system.
