Transient stability assessment (TSA) of large power systems by the conventional method is a time consuming task. For each disturbance many nonlinear equations should be solved that makes the problem too complex and will lead to delayed decisions in providing the necessary control signals for controlling the system. Nowadays new methods which are devise artificial intelligence techniques are frequently used for TSA problem instead of traditional methods. Unfortunately these methods are suffering from uncertainty in input measurements. Therefore, there is a necessity to develop a reliable and fast online TSA to analyze the stability status of power systems when exposed to credible disturbances. We propose a direct method based on Type-2 fuzzy neural network for TSA problem. The Type-2 fuzzy logic can properly handle the uncertainty which is exist in the measurement of power system parameters. On the other hand a multilayer perceptron (MLP) neural network (NN) has expert knowledge and learning capability. The proposed hybrid method combines both of these capabilities to achieve an accurate estimation of critical clearing time (CCT). The CCT is an index of TSA in power systems. The Type-2 fuzzy NN is trained by fast resilient back-propagation algorithm. Also, in order to the proposed approach become scalable in a large power system, a NN based sensitivity analysis method is employed to select more effective input data. Moreover, In order to verify the performance of the proposed Type-2 fuzzy NN based method, it has been compared with a MLP NN method. Both of the methods are applied to the IEEE standard New England 10-machine 39-bus test system. The simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed method in compare to the frequently used MLP NN based method in terms of accuracy and computational cost of CCT estimation for sample fault scenarios.
