Abstract (EN): Phasor measurement unit (PMU) provides beneficial information for dynamic power system stability, analysis, and control. One main application of such useful information is data-driven analysis and control. This article presents an approach for optimal signal selection and controller structure determination in PMU-based power system stabilizer (PSS) design. An algorithm is suggested for selecting the optimal input and output signals for PSS, in which a combination of system clustering, modal analysis, and principal component analysis techniques is used. The solution for the optimal PSS input-output selection is determined to increase the observability and damping of the power system. The approach can efficiently reduce the number of input-output signals, while the overall performance is not deteriorated. Then, a linear matrix inequality-based technique is elaborated to design the PMU-based PSS parameters. The stabilizer design approach is formulated as a convex optimization problem and the appropriate stabilizer for pole allocation of the closed-loop model is designed. This method is simulated on two sample power systems. Also, to compare the results with the previous methods, the system is simulated and the results of two previously developed algorithms are compared with the proposed approach. The results show the benefit of the suggested method in reducing the required signals, which decreases the number of required PMUs, while the system damping is not affected.
