population based incremental learning (pbil)
Performance evaluation of power system stabilizers based on Population-Based Incremental Learning (PBIL) algorithm Optimal tuning of PSSs parameters using Population-Based Incremental Learning (PBIL) is presented. PBIL is a technique that combines aspects of GAs and competitive learning-based on Artificial Neural Network. PBIL-PSS was tested on a multi-machine power system and its performance compared to GA-PSS. Although PBIL algorithm is much simpler and easier to implement than GAs, it is as effective as GAs. Simulation results show that PBIL-PSS gives better performances than GA-PSS.
