Yet, the practical deployment of many reported control schemes is hampered by the fact that their implementation requires the measurement of the full state vector. Our main contribution is to address this fundamental obstacle by proposing an observer-based excitation controller using modern phasor measurement technology. For this purpose, a linear time-varying observer scheme for the generator frequency and the internal voltage is derived. This observer is then combined with a classical passivity-based excitation controller. Stability of the resulting nonlinear observer-based closed-loop system is shown by deriving an ISS-based separation principle. The performance of the proposed approach is demonstrated via simulation example.}, language = {en} }
