Low-frequency oscillations (LFOs) pose a significant obstacle in achieving optimal power flow and utilizing transmission corridors in large interconnected power systems. In this study, linear matrix inequality (LMI) base robust H โ wide-area damping controller (WADC) is introduced to effectively address critical LFOs. The proposed WADC utilizes wide-area signals, which modulate the phase angle of a thyristor-controlled phase shifter device. To ensure that the concerned modes of LFOs lie in left half of the complex plane, a D-space sub-region approach is applied. However, using wide-area signals introduces time delays, which negatively impact the efficacy of the WADC; hence, a time delay compensator (TDC) is incorporated into the feedback path of the signals. The proposed approach involves four key steps: selecting feedback signals using a combined modal transformation and geometric approach, designing an appropriate TDC, building a generalized plant with mixed sensitivity weights, and solving the LMI. The dynamic efficacy is verified on IEEE 4-machine 11-bus system, and 10-machine 39-bus system. Poorly damped single and multiple critical modes are placed in the D-space region of interest with specified damping ratios viz. 10% and 15%. Furthermore, damping ratios of critical modes are maintained with TDC based proposed WADC while deteriorating with other counterparts. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
