This paper presents the modelling and simulation of Static Synchronous Series Compensator (SSSC) in a two area system for Automatic Generation Control (AGC) under deregulated environment. The modelling of Thyristor Controlled phase Shifter (TCPS) is also carried out and comparison is made between SSSC and TCPS. A two area hydrothermal system under deregulated environment has been considered for...

ObjectStab is a general purpose simulation tool for power system stability studies developed by Modelica which is an object-oriented modeling language. It provides enough modeling flexibility to allow addition or modification of new power system components. This paper describes an incorporated use of fuzzy logic toolbox in Matlab/Simulink and ObjectStab library to enhance the application of thi...

The paper investigates the use of dissipativity-based control for voltage-sourced inverters (VSI) utilized as reactive power and unbalance compensators, e.g., Static synchronous compensator (STATCOM). The approach relies on a frequency domain modeling of system dynamics using positive sequence and negative sequence dynamic components. Following the passivity-based procedure, a family of control...

<p>Flexible alternating current transmission system (FACTS) devices are deployed for improving power system’s stability either singly or as a combination. This research investigates hybrid FACTS and studies their impact on voltage, small-signal transient simultaneously under various disturbances. The simulations were done using five devices-static var compensator (SVC), static synchronous...

Voltage control and fast reactive power compensation are two main application area of Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM), which is a shunt connected voltage source converter (VSC) based FACTs controller using power semiconductor devices (particularly IGBT, GTO etc.).However, the total Statcom circuitry has complex and coupled system dynamics which require advanced controllers to achieve w...

The objective of the paper is the application of modular multilevel cascade converter based on double star bridge cells (DSBCs) to a Static synchronous Compensator (STATCOM), for reactive-power control. The power consumed by the heavy load will create an unsymmetrical current will reducing the quality of the power in the electrical grid. Due to the unsymmetrical current the electrical power in ...
