| description | Abstract The increasing integration of wind farms (WFs) has introduced challenges to power system stability due to wind speed uncertainties, dynamic variations, and disturbances. Conventional supplementary controllers such as Power System Stabilizers (PSS) and Power Oscillation Dampers (POD) often lack robustness under varying conditions, and Thyristor-Controlled Series Capacitors (TCSCs) are underutilised in enhancing damping and stability. This study addresses these gaps by proposing a novel coordinated Fuzzy Logic Controller (FLC)-based POD and TCSC system to improve damping efficiency and real-time performance. The proposed system effectively handles nonlinear dynamics, complements traditional controllers, and mitigates the tuning complexities and slow response times of FLCs. A comprehensive evaluation was conducted using MATLAB/Simulink and RT-LAB experimental platforms for the IEEE-14 bus model, focusing on transient stability under diverse scenarios, including wind speed fluctuations, Synchronous Generator (SG) replacement with WFs, and extreme disturbances. The proposed approach limited the rotor angle and speed rise time, settling time, maximum overshoot and steady-state error to approximately 0.075 s, 2.044 s, 10.60% and ±0.0431, respectively, compared to standalone and uncoordinated controllers, enhancing stability margins. Reducing the system’s settling time. Similarly, results demonstrate the superior performance of coordinated FLC-based controllers in strengthening the power flow of SGs, terminal voltage, wind power flow, and grid stability compared to standalone and uncoordinated controllers. This research underscores the importance of input node selection, controller integration, and addressing system uncertainties, offering practical solutions to achieve robust oscillation damping and enhanced stability in WF-integrated IEEE-14 bus test systems.
