This paper proposed an optimal fuzzy controller for damping the power system oscillation in multimachine environment. In this strategy, the proposed controller is optimized by new chaotic invasive weed optimization algorithm. Furthermore, a new objective function has been considered to test the proposed controller in different load conditions which increase the stability of system after disturbances. For this purpose, the damping factor, damping ratio, and a combination of the damping factor and damping ratio were analyzed and compared with the proposed objective function. The effectiveness of the proposed strategy has been applied in two multi-machine power system test cases as three machine 9-bus IEEE standard and 10-machine 39-bus New England power systems. The eigenvalue analysis and nonlinear time-domain simulation results proof the effectiveness of the proposed strategy.
