Optimal Location of Static Var Compensator Device for Damping Oscillations

Problem statement: Static Var Compensators (SVC) devices are used to improve voltage and reactive power conditions in AC systems. An additional task of SVC is to increase transmission capacity as result of power oscillation damping. The effectiveness of this controller depends on its optimal location and proper signal selection in the power system network. A residue factor had been proposed to ...

Application of an Additive Self-tuning Controller for Static Synchronous Series Compensator for Damping of Sub-synchronous Resonance Oscillations

In this paper, an additive self-tuning (ST) control scheme is presented for a static synchronous series compensator (SSSC) to improve performance of conventional PI control system for damping sub-synchronous resonance (SSR) oscillations. The active and reactve series compensation are provided by a three-level 24-pulse SSSC and fixed capacitor. The proposed ST controller consists of a pole shift...

Design of Microcontroller Based Static VAR Compensator

The change in system voltage and frequency with changing load creates problem in power system stability. For the sake of system stability and reliability, the reactive power compensation is essential for flexible AC transmission system (FACTS). The variation of reactive power causes impact on the generating units, lines, circuit breakers, transformers, relays and isolators. However the reactive...
