This study proposes an adaptive boosting (AdaBoost) algorithm for precise and accurate prediction of transient security assessment of power systems using synchronised measurements. The proposed approach (PRPA) also determines the generator coherent state as well as the synchronism status of each generating unit. The PRPA consists of three classifier models, in which classifier I determines the transient security status and classifier II is used to determine the generator coherency. Classifier III is a hybrid classifier, which determines the individual generator synchronism state for a given operating condition. This hybrid classifier consists of an array of parallel classifiers, where one classifier is assigned to each generating unit of the power system. For this assessment, the measured rotor angles of the generators are used as inputs to the proposed classifier models. In classification stage, several weak classifiers are combined in a linear manner to construct a strong classifier. The performance of the AdaBoost algorithm is further improved by a new weight updation strategy using fuzzy clustering thresholding technique. Simulation results obtained from IEEE 14‐bus, IEEE 30‐bus and Indian 246‐bus systems reveal that the PRPA can enhance the overall monitoring and assessment of power system using synchronised measurements.
