Abstract

An intelligent optimization algorithm for a marine generator excitation controller is proposed to improve dynamic performance of shipboard power systems. This algorithm combines a belief–desire–intention agent with a quantum-behaved particle swarm optimization (QPSO) algorithm to optimize a marine generator excitation controller. The shipboard zonal power system is simulated under disturbance due to load change or severe fault. The results show that the proposed optimization algorithm can improve marine generator stability compared with conventional excitation controllers under various operating conditions. Moreover, the proposed intelligent algorithm is highly robust because its performance is insensitive to the accuracy of system parameters.
