A Probability-One Homotopy Method for Stabilizer Parameter Tuning

A probability-one homotopy method for standard and least-square partial pole assignment problems is presented in this paper. The suggested method enjoys superior theoretical properties and it is very reliable. Implementation innovations, including the development of an efficient algorithm for computing the second order derivatives of eigenvalues, rescaling and eigenvalue tracking, are reported in detail. Simulation results of ten test systems including the East China power system with 465 machines and 3296 buses are described, showing that the suggested method is a reliable parameter tuning tool and it has the potential for solving real-world stabilizer parameter tuning problems.
