In this study, power system stabiliser (PSS), static VAR compensator (SVC), and thyristor controlled series capacitor (TCSC) controllers are simultaneously used to increase the stability and damping of the oscillations of a multi‐machine power system. By SVC, the transferrable power in the steady state can be increased and the voltage profile can be controlled along the line. TCSC can regulate line impedance and therefore, increase the transferred power of the system. PSS is added to excitation system to enhance the damping of electric power system during low frequency oscillations. SVC, TCSC, and PSS can combine with each other for further damping and stability; therefore, their coordination is very important. Then, adaptive velocity update relaxation particle swarm optimisation algorithm is used to optimise the parameters of PSS, SVC, and TCSC simultaneous controllers. The robustness of the proposed algorithm has been tested on 16‐machine 68‐bus power system.
