The tuning problem of PSS parameters is expressed as an optimization problem and the SSA method is utilized for searching the optimal parameters. The efficacy of the SSA-based PSS design was successfully tested on a well-known 3-machine, 9-bus power system. The results are comparatively evaluated with the other results obtained by the Tabu Search (TS) and the Biogeography-Based Optimization (BBO) methods. From the eigenvalue analysis and nonlinear simulation results it is confirmed that for damping oscillations, the performance of the proposed SSA approach in this study is better than that obtained by other intelligent techniques (TS and BBO).eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessAttribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 United StatesBiogeography-Based OptimizationParameter OptimizationPower System StabilizerSalp Swarm AlgorithmTabu SearchConference ObjectN/AN/A
