In this paper a new optimization algorithm, the biogeography based optimization (BBO) is employed to design a robust power oscillation damping (POD) controller using unified power flow controller (UPFC). The controller that is used to damp low frequency oscillation is designed over a wide range of operating points using two different objective functions. The obtained controllers are then verified through time-domain simulation over different loading conditions with different system uncertainties introduced.
