Abstract: The use of power system stabilizers (PSSs) to damp power system swing mode of oscillations is of practical important. The authors purpose is to retune the power system stabilizer (PSS1A) parameters in Unitrol D produced by ABB– was installed in 1995 in Benghazi North Power Plants (BNPPs) at General Electricity Company of Libya (GECOL). Power systems are steadily growing with larger capacity, so the optimal values of the power system stabilizer (PSS1A) parameters should be retuned. A particle swarm optimization technique (PSO) is used to determine the parameters of the PSS off-line. The objective is to damp the local and inter-area modes of oscillations that occur following power system disturbances. The retuned power system stabilizer (PSS1A) can cope with large disturbance at different operating points and has an enhanced power system stability, The MATLAB package with SIMULINK is used for the design and simulations.
