Enhanced hippopotamus optimization algorithm for power system stabilizers

Abstrak

This article presents techniques for modifying the power system stabilizer's (PSS) parameters. An enhanced version of the hippocampal optimization algorithm (HO) is presented here. HO represents a novel approach in metaheuristic methodology, having been inspired by the observed clinging behavior in hippos. The notion of the HO is defined using a trinary-phase model that includes their position updates in rivers or ponds, defensive techniques against predators, and mathematically described evasive methods. To confirm the efficacy of the recommended approach, this article provides comparison simulations of the PSS objective function and transient response. This study employs validation through a comparison between Original HO and conventional methods. Simulation results demonstrate that, when compared to competing algorithms, the suggested approach yields optimal results and, in some cases, exhibits fast convergence. It is known that, in comparison to the original HO approach, the recommended way can lower the average undershoot of the rotor angel and speed by 12.049% and 26.97%, respectively.
