Abstract
This paper proposes a novel particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm based fuzzy logic controller (FLC) for improving the performance of automatic solid-state transfer switch (SSTS) with respect to transfer time. The proposed technique generates adaptive membership functions (MFs) of voltage error and rate of change of voltage error for input and output based on the fitness function formulated by the PSO. An optimal PSO-based FLC (PSOF) fitness function is further employed to tune and minimize the mean absolute error (MAE) to improve the performance of the load transfer in a short duration. Results obtained from the proposed PSOF are compared with those obtained with the conventional FLC to validate the developed controller. It is observed that the proposed PSOF optimized controller can transfer the load faster than the conventional FLC controller. The accuracy of the developed PSOF is illustrated and investigated via simulation tests for SSTS in the IEEE 9-bus system. It can be concluded that the PSOF controller is better than the only fuzzy controller in all tested cases in terms of transfer time.
