N2 - In this paper, a nonlinear excitation controller is designed for multimachine power systems in order to enhance the transient stability under different operating conditions. The two-axis models of synchronous generators in multimachine power systems along with the dynamics of the IEEE Type-II excitation systems are considered to design the proposed controller. The partial feedback linearization scheme is used to simplify the multimachine power system as it allows decoupling a multimachine power system based on the excitation control inputs of synchronous generators. A receding horizon-based continuous-time model predictive control scheme is used for partially linearized power systems to obtain linear control inputs. Finally, the nonlinear control laws, which also include receding horizon-based control inputs, are implemented on the IEEE 10-machine, 39-bus New England power system. The superiority of the proposed scheme is evaluated by providing comparisons with a similar existing nonlinear excitation controller, where the control input for the feedback linearized model is obtained using the linear quadratic regulator (LQR) approach. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed scheme performs better as compared to the LQR-based partial feedback linearizing excitation controller in terms of enhancing the stability margin.
