The proposal is to synchronize adjustments of these controllers in order to introduce the desired low frequency oscillation damping in an electric power system. A test system distributed in two areas with 4 generators, 10 bus and 15 transmission lines and with local and inter-area oscillation modes is simulated to test the design. The results demonstrate the ability of the algorithm to achieve the objectives defined in this paper.engBacterial foraging optimizationPODPSSSmall-signal stabilityTCSCTrabalho apresentado em evento10.1109/INDUSCON.2014.70594082-s2.0-84946691047
