ABSTRACT The integration of renewable energy sources and varying load demands have risen reliability
and stability issues that need proper attention and optimum solution. Continuous and reliable operation of
the power system is the key to any country's economic and industrial growth. In this regard, a Static
synchronous compensator (STATCOM) has extensively adapted Flexible Alternating Current Transmission
System (FACTS) device mainly for Volt Ampere Reactive (VAR) compensation, voltage stability, damping
oscillations to improve power system stability. In this work, A NeuroFuzzy wavelets based auxiliary
control for STATCOM in a two-area power system is proposed in this paper. The proposed control system
was tested on four different fault scenarios. A modified Takagi-Sugeno-Kang (TSK) controller by applying
a Wavelet Neural Network (WNN) is used to evaluate controllers' performance. The conventional TSK
control is used to assess the performance of the proposed controllers. The TSK controller is modified by
applying a WNN in the consequent part. The updated parameters in Morlet and Mexican hat wavelets are
updated in the WNN, and these proposed adaptive controllers are employed as damping controllers with
STATCOM. Simulation results show sufficient performance enhancement using the modified WNN based
control schemes. The dynamic performance improvement is demonstrated with graphical time-domain and
performance indices results using MATLAB/Simulink.

INTRODUCTION
Climate change and the growing population have increased
power demands and energy needs [1]. Power systems
around the world are mainly affected by industrialization,
changing climate, and rapid renewable energy integration
[2]. Some developing countries are barely attaining their
demands for electricity [3]. The rapid integration of
renewable energy is causing some problems related to
power system operation like power quality concerns, low
inertia of Photovoltaic (PV) systems, harmonics, and
subsynchronous oscillations, etc. [4]. Hence, a reliable and
protected operation of the power system is needed to tackle
the contingencies and power surges. Low frequency
oscillations are originated when power systems are
subjected to any fault [5]. These oscillations, once started in
a power system must need to be damped; otherwise, they
grow over time and cause a cascade blackout.
There are many blackout incidents and cascade failure of
power system worldwide, but the reason behind many
incidents has not been studied deeply. In recent years, many
countries have also reported such incidents caused due to
power system stability issues. Some of them are presented
in Figure 1 [6]. The reason behind some blackout is supply
and demand collapse. However, Italy and US blackouts
were investigated due to oscillations.
Power System Stabilizers (PSSs) have been used in the
past to overcome this problem. However, PSSs are installed
and controlled locally. Therefore, they fail to stabilize the

power system under varying operating conditions [7]. The
use of Flexible Alternating Current Transmission Systems
(FACTS) controllers and energy storage devices is a crucial
reason behind the centralized nature of electrical power and
continuously varying load demand [8]. FACTS controllers
efficiently use full transmission capability and maintain the
system's reliability due to their capability to improve power
quality with dynamic voltage restorer (DVR) [9]. FACTS,
along with an auxiliary control, can be used to damp out the
low frequency oscillations effectively. Due to their fast
response, FACTS devices are used to enhance steady-state
performance and dynamic stability [10], [11]. Among all
other FACTS controllers, Static synchronous compensator
(STATCOM) is used for power flow control, voltage
control, Volt Ampere Reactive (VAR) compensation,
damping oscillations, and voltage stability at long-distance
transmission lines. It is also utilized for power quality
improvement as Distribution STATCOM (D-STATCOM)
[12]. STATCOM works in an inductive and capacitive
mode by controlling its output current [13].
The control of STATCOM consists of two control loops,
internal control and external control. The gating pulses for
voltage source converter (VSC) are generated by internal
control. The external control, known as Auxiliary Damping
Control (ADC), is used to adjust the internal control
parameters to damp the oscillations in the power system.
The rest of the paper is constructed as; the literature
review for power system stability enhancement using
STATCOM, and applications of NeuroFuzzy controllers
have been presented in the next section. The ADC
mechanism, introduction of neural network and fuzzy
system, detailed layer structure of NFWC and its selftuning algorithm are presented in section III; the simulation
results are presented and discussed in the graphical and
quantitative results section, and in last, a conclusion is
presented with a focus on the key findings of this work.
II.
In literature, different control schemes have been
proposed and adapted for power oscillations damping with
STATCOM. The proposed techniques involve Proportional
Integral [14], swarm and bat algorithm [15], Harmony
Search Evolutionary (HSE) technique [16], and Imperialist
Competitive Algorithm (ICA) [17], etc. However, some of
these linear and nonlinear techniques lack in adapting the
system uncertainties and fail to retain performance under
different contingencies [18]. In recent years, damping of
power system oscillations for nonlinear and dynamic plants
has been achieved using NeuroFuzzy control techniques
with STATCOM [19]–[21]. But most of these techniques
incorporate Takagi-Sugeno-Kang (TSK) structure with a
linear consequent part that cannot effectively transform the
system uncertainties and nonlinearities into NeuroFuzzy
control, as new technology, fuzzy Wavelet Neural Network
(WNN), was introduced, which integrates conventional
TSK structure with wavelets.
Neural Network (NN) has attributes of learning
capability, nonlinear mapping, and highly interconnected
parallel network. However, NN requires a large number of
neurons for solving complex approximation problems, and
NN may be stuck in the local minimum due to the nonconvexity of the error function in the neural network. The
use of wavelet function in the network can overcome these
disadvantages of the neural network.
The fuzzy system reduces the complexity of data and can
model uncertainties. NN have learning capability, and
wavelets have localized property to discover the detail of
non-stationary signals. This combination allows developing
a system with the ability to specify a nonlinear system that
can learn quickly [22], [23]. Fuzzy wavelet neural networks
have been used to control nonlinear and dynamic plants
successfully [22]. Proper initialization of parameters is
required for fast convergence in wavelet neural networks.
For the increased speed and fast convergence, optimum
values of translation and dilation parameters are used [24].

FIGURE 1. Some major power outages caused by power system instability [6].
Due to the earlier mentioned capabilities of NeuroFuzzy
wavelet control, it is used in a wide variety of applications
from the prediction of electricity consumption and time
series [25], [26], to use in robot manipulators [27], vehicle
suspension control [28], power system stabilizer design
[29], SSSC based power oscillation damping [30], and
long-term load forecasting, [24] etc.
This paper presents a direct adaptive NeuroFuzzy control
method using a WNN. The proposed control paradigm uses
antecedent parts of conventional TSK and Morlet and
Mexican hat wavelets based WNN in the TSK controller's
consequent part. The use of Wavelets in the consequent
part improves the computational power of the neuro-fuzzy
system.
The main contributions of this research work are
summarized below:
to demonstrate a systematic procedure of direct
adaptive NeuroFuzzy Wavelet Control (NFWC)
strategy employing Morlet and Mexican hat
wavelets for the design of an ADC for
STATCOM.
to validate the proposed control strategy by
analyzing the performance of NFWC (Morlet) and
NFWC (Mexican hat) controls with a conventional
TSK control under different symmetric and
unsymmetrical faults scenarios.
to demonstrate performance improvement by
assessing various Performance Indices (PIs).
The modeling aspect of the synchronous machine and
power system with STATCOM are not addressed in this
paper, with a prime focus on the controller implementation
with STATCOM. The synchronous machine model
having d axis lagging the q axis is presented in [31], [32].
and the detailed power system model for STATCOM with
multi-machine power system can be found in [18].

plant output and fed to the controller. The input to the
NeuroFuzzy ADC is (r 21 ) and its derivative.
Where, r is reference deviation and 21 is the actual
rotor speed deviation between two machines. The ADC
block gives the output as; u uANFMoWC uANFMhWC uTsk
for ANFMoWC, ANFMhWC, and ANFTskC, respectively.
This output is modulated with a reference voltage and
supplied to internal control of STATCOM. A detailed,
layered structure of the proposed controllers is given in the
following subsection.
A. NEURAL NETWORK AND FUZZY SYSTEM
NN consists of a number of simple and highly
interconnected processing elements operating in parallel.
This network is inspired by the biological nervous system.
The structure of the NN consists of perceptron and synaptic
connections. The processing elements perceptron (neuron)
are connected through other neurons with the connections
called synapses. In simple NN, the synapses' influence is
included with connection weight, which regulates the
influence of the corresponding input signal. The drawback
of the neural network is an intricate design structure and
black-box nature of its operation. The structure of the NN is
shown in Figure 3.
Lofti Zadeh first introduced the fuzzy set theory in 1965
[33]. Fuzzy systems use mathematics to translate human
knowledge into artificial intelligence. Fuzzy systems are
described with the help of fuzzy rules which use a linguistic
term such called rules; IF < antecedent > THEN <
consequent >. Fuzzy quantities are described in terms of
fuzzy sets or fuzzy numbers. Fuzzy systems are very
efficient at approximating real continuous functions to a
high degree of accuracy.
AUXILIARY DAMPING CONTROL MECHANISM
The output current of the STATCOM is controlled by
incorporating three different ADC schemes in this work.
These ADC acts as damping controllers for power
oscillations when installed with STATCOM. The ADC
compared in this work are Adaptive NeuroFuzzy TSK
Control (ANFTskC), Adaptive NeuroFuzzy Morlet Wavelet
Control (ANFMoWC), and Adaptive NeuroFuzzy Mexican
hat Wavelet Control (ANFMhWC). A closed-loop system
involving the ADC mechanism connected to a plant is
shown in Figure 2.
A two-area power system having two machines with
STATCOM already installed is used as a plant in this work.
The rotor speed deviation between both machines is used as

FIGURE 2. Closed-loop system.
Figure 4 shows a simple fuzzy logic system consisting of
three stages. The first stage is called fuzzification, in which
inputs are fuzzified by mapping a function. In the second
stage, the membership values estimated in the fuzzification
block are aggregated to get a single degree of membership.
This process is done in the fuzzy inference, which uses a
fuzzy rule base to perform the decision-making process. In
the last stage, the resulting fuzzy values are converted back
to numerical or crisp values. This process is called
defuzzification.
The fuzzy system processes the rules in accordance with
the firing strength of the inputs. This is performed by fuzzy
operators like conjunction (AND), dis-junction (OR), and
complement (NOR) operator. In the last stage, the fuzzy
system is transformed again into crisp space; this process is
called defuzzification. The mathematical model which uses
fuzzy sets is known as fuzzy models. The two types of
fuzzy models Mamdani and TSK, are widely used in the
literature [33].
algorithm. The approaches to integrate the FIS and ANN
can be broadly classified into three categories; cooperative
model, concurrent model, and fully fused model.
B. LAYARD STRUCTURE OF ADAPTIVE NEUROFUZZY
WAVELET CONTROL
In the proposed control scheme, the conventional TSK
controller's consequent part is substituted with a WNN. The
layered architecture for ANFTskC is presented in Figure 5.
It consists of 6 layers, the first two layers belong to the
antecedent part, and Layer 3 belongs to the consequent part.
A linear polynomial is used in the consequent part of
ANFTskC, and WNN is incorporated in it for proposed
controllers. Fuzzy rules interconnect this multi-layer NN.
The circle and square indicate a fixed node, and the
rectangle indicates an adaptive node of the antecedent and
consequent section.
The general rule for the ANFWC is described by:
R j : IF x1 is 1 j and x2 is 2 j and L xh is hg
(1)
h
THEN j w j j xi
i 1
Here x1, x2, ..., xh are crisp inputs and ij
is the
membership function for ith input and jth rule. j is a the
jth output of the WNN. In case of ANFTskC, the j is
given as linear function as;
FIGURE 4. Fuzzy logic system.
NeuroFuzzy is the fusion of a Fuzzy Inference System
(FIS) and Artificial NN (ANN). NeuroFuzzy systems have
gained widespread interest for the researchers in
engineering and other scientific areas due to the need for
adaptive intelligent systems to solve real-world problems.

In layer 2, the number of nodes corresponds to the
number of rules. The output of each node represents the
firing strength of each rule, and And (min) operator
calculates the output in this layer.
The expression for layer 2 is given as

Where, J gives the firing strengths of each rule
calculated by triangular norm product operation. The Eij
denotes the Gaussian membership function.
The key design of ANFTskC, ANFMoWC, and
ANFMhWC vary in the consequent part. The architecture
of both proposed controllers having WNN is illustrated in
Figure 6. The wavelets are incorporating in the form of
WNN. The neural network has limited ability to
characterize the local features of the time series. The use of
wavelet function in the system can overcome these
disadvantages of the neural network. The parameters of the
wavelets and weights between the hidden and output layers
are also adapted in each iteration. The ANFTskC consists

C. Self-Tuning Algorithm
The self-tuning algorithm is required to update the
antecedent and the consequent parameters of the proposed
controllers. The parameters presented in Table I are updated
in every iteration by updating with gradient descent based
algorithm. The following cost function is minimized to
update the controller parameters;
0.5 ( yr y)2 hu 2
(10)
Here, yr r is the reference speed deviation and
y 21 is the actual speed deviation of plant in this work,
respectively. ‘ h ’ is the a constant term and ‘u’ is the
output of the controller and expressed for adaptive
controllers as u uTsk uANFMoWC uANFMhWC .
No prior training data is required in proposed adaptive
controllers, and parameters are trained online without any
training data. Therefore, these controllers are also known as
online adaptive controllers. The most adapted rule for
training NN is the Back Propagation algorithm (BP). The
BP algorithm is based on gradient descent optimization.
The network can converge to the desired value by applying
the BP learning algorithm to adjust the weights of the
ANNs by reducing the accumulated mean square error. BP
utilizes the derivative of the error in each iteration. The
overall parameters of the network are adjusted using a
gradient descent based BP algorithm.
The steepest-decent based update rule is used to
update the parameters;

Here, C ij , ij , 1ij , 2ij , 1ij , 2ij , wj consists

and momentum term, respectively. Momentum term is used
to speed up the convergence, and it is only used in
consequent parameters here. The momentum term is zero
for STD and mean parameters.
The parameters of antecedent part are updated
using following rule.

constant [36].
The design variation between ANFTskC, ANFMoWC,
and ANFMhWC lies in the consequent part of the network.
Therefore, the update rule for deriving the dilation and
translation parameters for Morlet and Mexican hat wavelet
is given as;

GRAPHICAL AND QUANTITATIVE RESULTS
A simulation study was performed on a Core i5 5th
generation computer with 8 GB of installed memory on
MATLAB/Simulink platform. A STATCOM connected to
a two-machine system is employed in this work with
machine ratings of 1400MVA and 700 MVA, for G1 and
G2, respectively. The two machines are connected to the
step-up transformer and transmission lines. The length of
transmission lines is 210 km for La and Lb, and 290 km for
Lc and Ld. A 500 MVA STATCOM is installed at Bus m
(Bm). In stability studies, a slightly off-centered location is
suggested for the installation of STATCOM in [37].
The generators are equipped with PSS, and simulations
are performed without disturbing the machine's existing
PSS controls. The other parameters of the power system
are shown on the single line diagram in Figure 8. The
simulation study was performed for four different
contingency conditions involving three-phase fault, line
outages, the line to line faults, and line to ground faults in
different cases. The switch Sa depicts the test scenario of
the power system with ANFMoWC, ANFMhWC, and
ANFTskC. The switch Sa remains open when STATCOM
FIGURE 8.
A three-phase self-clearing fault was applied on receiving
end side at line Lc. The fault starts at t= 0.1 sec and remains
for only ten cycles and then cleared from the system. Figure
7 (a) and (b) shows the rotor speed and angle deviations.
The ANFMhWC has shown better damping of speed
deviation and brings the system in a steady state before the
other controllers do. The oscillations in rotor speed and
angle are more significant for STATCOM without ADC.
The amplitude of rotor angle oscillations is less for
ANFMhWC than ANFMoWC, ANFTskC, and STATCOM
without ADC. Marginal performance enhancement is seen
between ANFMhWC and ANFMoWC, as both of these
controls are having WNN in the consequent part. The
power flow on Ld is shown in Figure 9 (c). The power flow
is disturbed during the fault duration, and in a stable state, it
reaches approximately 550 MW. Figure 9 (d) displays the
injected voltage of the STATCOM, which is modulated
with its internal control, which in turn control the impact of
the STATCOM on power system connected at Bm.

B. CASE 2
The test system undergoes a more stressed fault scenario,
which involves rapid variations in system conditions. A
three-phase fault is applied at line Ld from t = 0.1 to 0.315
sec, and another fault further evaluates the test system.
Another fault of partial line outage is practiced by removing
the line at t=0. 3 to re-closure at 0.4667 sec. Figure 10 (a)
and (b) shows the rotor speed and angle deviation,
ANFMhWC shows significant better damping of rotor
angle deviation then ANFMoWC, ANFTskC, and without
ADC. The damping performance of STATCOM without
ADC is poor in steady-state and transient state. The steadystate line power flow is approximately 550 MW, as shown
in Figure 10 (c). The injected voltage by the STATCOM
controlled by the output of the controller is exhibited in
Figure 10 (d).
C. CASE 3
The robustness of the proposed control design is assessed
by implementing complex faults in series, and the test system
is examined with a more practical and stressed scenario. A
symmetric three-phase fault is applied at line Ld at t = 0.1 to
0.315 sec. This fault is cleared by permanent removal of line
Ld from the system, and power flow is halted on this line. An
unsymmetrical self-clearing phase to ground fault is applied
at La at t = 6 sec for 12 cycles, and another phase to phase
fault is applied at line Lb at t = 11 sec before the system gets
stabilize from the effect of the previous fault. The
unsymmetrical fault remains on line Lb for ten cycles only.
Figure 11 (a) and (b) shows the rotor speed deviation and
rotor angle deviation between machine 1 and 2, respectively.
It depicts that the severeness of the symmetrical fault is much
larger than the unsymmetrical fault as it applies to all the
phases. Hence, this short circuit causes a considerable
amount of deviations in both rotor speed and the angle
between both machines. Results show that the ADC has
played their role starting from the first swings and effectively
damped the oscillations in the transient regions. The swings
are low in less critical unsymmetrical faults then three-phase
fault, and proposed controller ANFMhWC and ANFMoWC
have shown much better damping of oscillations in all three
faults. ANFMhWC has performed much efficient damping
than ANFTskC; however, its performance is slightly better
than the ANFMoWC.

The performance of STATCOM without ADC is inferior
in three faults scenarios. The injected voltage into the
internal control of STATCOM is shown in Figure 11 (c)
shows that the injected voltages are almost the same in the
starting time of the first fault, and after that, ANFMhWC
has demonstrated higher than ANFMoWC and ANFTskC,
which resulted in smooth damping of oscillations.

D. PERFORMANCE EVALUATION
Describing the performance of different control schemes is
a tough task; however, the nonlinear time-domain
simulations tool provides visual information to analyze the
performance of various proposed control techniques. It is a
prime testing tool for transient stability analysis.
Sometimes, performance improvement among different
control paradigm is difficult to analyze because it is
insignificant or marginal in both transient and steady-state
regions. To get a complete sharp judgment of the system
results, in the sense which can rank the performance from
worst to best. The behavior of ADCs for STATCOM is
analyzed by using different PIs. PIs provide help not only to
insight the performance of the control system in transient
and steady-state regions, but a quantitative measurement
can also be drawn from these. PIs are calculated as;
t
PIs t a | e t |b dt where a and b are constants (21)
sim
0
The Integral Time Square Error (ITSE), Integral Time
Absolute Error (ITAE), Integral Square Error (ISE), and
Integral Absolute Error (IAE) are calculated using the (a, b)
such as (1,2), (1,1), (0,2) and (0,1), respectively.
The PIs for two-machine test system is calculated as:
PI
tsim a
t 0
t | 2 1 |b dt
(a)
The graphical results of PIs for case 1 are shown in Figure
13. The PIs curves show that the performance margin is more
in ITAE and ISE than IAE and ISE in this case. Marginal
performance enhancement is seen for ANFMoWC and
ANFMhWC for IAE and ITSE, but the IAE curve shows that
the transition from transient state to steady-state is sharp for
ANFMhWC. ANFMhWC gives better performance all PIs
curves, and the slope has become zero in steady-state and
gives better results when compared to ANFMoWC,
ANFTSKC, and STATCOM without ADC case. Hence,
ANFMhWC and ANFMoWC have performed better in both
steady-state and transient states.
The PIs curves for case 2 are shown in Figure 14. The
PIs ITSE and ISE depicts the performance improvement in
the transient region, and PIs without squares show a better
illustration of performance during steady-state. The results
show that performance improvement achieved by the
proposed controller is more significant in ITSE and ITAE.
The performance improvement for ANFTskC and
ANFMoWC is very close for IAE and ISE, but distinct
difference in performance has been observed for
ANFMoWC and ANFMhWC for ITAE and ITSE. The PIs
curves show the superiority of performance for ANFMhWC
in all PIs. The performance of ANFMoWC and
ANFMhWC is marginal when compared to each other.
However, there is a significant difference observed than
ANFTskC and without ADC. ANFMhWC gives better
performance than ANFMoWC in steady-state and transient
states.

Case 1: (a) ITAE (b) IAE (c) ISE (d) ITSE
PIs curves for case 3 are shown in Figure 15. It shows that
more performance has been achieved in ITAE and IEA
curves; it is by better damping of oscillations by proposed
controllers in steady-state regions. Thus the robustness of
the proposed controller is tested under three faults in series,
and ANFMoWC and ANFMhWC have shown better
performance in all three faults duration. The performance
improvement for ANFTskC and ANFMoWC is very close
in the first fault for ISTE, ISE, and ITAE, but after the
second fault, the performance of ANFMoWC can be easily
detected in PIs curves. The performance of proposed
ANFMhWC and ANFMoWC is significantly better than
ANFTskC and STATCOM without ADC.
The
ANFMhWC has shown better performance over
ANFMoWC in all PIs curves.
The computation time for all the text cases with different
controllers is presented in Table II. It is clear from the
computational time taken No ADC and ANFTskC are much
smaller, and ANFMoC and ANFMhC take a longer time
due to the involvement of more update parameters during
each iteration. This is due to the more computation
complexities involved by the inclusion of wavelets in the
conventional ANFTskC. The table also depicts the speed
deviation curves' peak magnitude to examine the proposed
control strategy's effectiveness. It shows that at the time
when a fault comes on the system, a significant swing of
rotor speed deviation appears and these swings are almost
same for all the case as fault was applied on 0.1 s and the
first swing reaches its peak at just 0.167 s at t=0.267 and
controller start working to reduce these oscillations and a
significant impact of their performance can be seen in the
subsequent 3rd, 4th, and 5th swings and then it reached to its
steady state.

The percentage performance improvement is shown in
Table III. It shows that the performance is significantly
improved by the inclusion of WNN in the consequent part
of the network. Thus, depicting a significant improvement
margin from ANFTskC to ANFMoWC. The performance
margin between proposed controllers was not visible in a
steady-state for speed deviation results. However, it is clear
from Table III that ANFMhWC has shown better
performance than ANFMoWC in both transient and steadystate regions.
The percentage performance improvement is much better
for multiple faults in the series case. The best ADC
performance is achieved in the third case when the test
system is subjected under different variations with time like
cascade symmetrical and unsymmetrical faults. The ISE
and IAE are only using the error signal itself; however,
ITSE and ITAE are calculating the performance over time.
Thus the later one depicts the improvement in steady-state
regions.
In case 1, better performance has been observed in ISE and
ITSE and ITAE. This shows that better damping of
oscillations has been achieved in the steady-state region.
Case 2 depicts a lower performance improvement when
compared with other results as the faulted line is removed
from the system and again reclosed after the applied fault is
cleared. A significant performance margin for all the four
PIs has been observed in Case 3. Reason for this is the
excellent performance of the proposed ANFMhWC and
ANFMoWC in both transient and steady-state regions.

changing the consequent part from Morlet to advanced
Mexican hat base WNN controller (ANFMhWC) improves
the performance even more, highlighting WNN's
importance in the NeuroFuzzy system. The qualitative and
quantitative analysis of performance indices shows that
ANFMhWC has the best performance among all
controllers. As the remote signals for speed deviations
were used for the controller input, assuming that the
transmission delays are negligible. This is the only
limitation of this approach. In a more practical scenario, the
effect of delay can be incorporated, and proposed control is
evaluated with the inclusion of transmission delay. The
investigation of the integration of wind and solar energy
and the impact of STATCOM based damping control on the
hybrid grid is a promising future aspect of this research.
Although a gradient descent optimization algorithm method
was used in this research, advanced optimization algorithms
can also be used in the future.

V. CONCLUSION
This paper demonstrates an NFWC based simulation
framework as an ADC for STATCOM. Time-domain
analysis has been done for comparative performance
evaluation of the proposed control schemes. The obtained
results reveal that for multi-machine test systems, the
Morlet wavelet based proposed controller ANFMoWC
performs consistently better than conventional ANFTskC in
damping low frequency modes of oscillations. Furthermore,
