Reviewer 2 Report
The article proposes an effective application and performance assessment of Neuro-Fuzzy Controller (NFC) damping controller is designed to replace the single machine infinite bus (SMIB) power system stabilizer (PSS) and coordinated multi PSSs in large interconnected power systems are presented. The research topic presented in the article is timely and interesting. The article is well-written and presented with high-quality figures. However, some typos and grammatical mistakes have been seen which can be improved by thorough proofread. Further, the key finding of the work should be addressed clearly in the conclusion which is almost repeating the abstract.

Our response: As recommended, the key findings of the work has been addressed clearly in the conclusion. e.g. Line 922 to 934: " By application of the proposed NFC stabilizer on the three-test systems, the damping ratio of the electromechanical modes (EMs) has increased from to for the SMIB test-system, to for the 3-machine test system, and to for the 10-machine test system respectively. This damping ratio is an acceptable value for EMs because it has increased to a value greater than 0.1. Nonlinear simulations are carried out for the designed PSSs with MATLAB/SIMULINK software. The variations in different quantities of the three test power systems, due to no change in the system loading condition, with a 120% increase in active power on generator 5 and generator 8 and with an 80% decrease in active power on generator 5 and generator 8 respectively reveal the effectiveness of the proposed NFC stabilizer. It is observed in the Figures from the nonlinear time-domain simulations that oscillations have become significantly damped for all the three test systems under these system operating variations using the proposed method". Line 937 to 941: " By Thus, the application and performance of the proposed NFC stabilizer in replacing the conventional PSSs for SMIB and large multi-machine power systems have appeared robust and superior and can be considered as a very remarkable technique for the optimal design of the damping controller in large interconnected power systems method".
