Abstract

This paper presents two self-tuning control structures synthesized through the minimization of two criterion functions. It is described the computation methodology of the control laws, both being particularized for the case of the synchronous generator's excitation control. The parameters estimator is considered the recursive least square error (RLSE) algorithm. In order to validate the considered control structures, two comparative study cases by computer simulation are presented.
