As power systems become more and more interconnected, the inter-area oscillations has become a serious factor limiting large power transfer among different areas. Underdamped (Undamped) inter-area oscillations may cause system breakup and even lead to large-scale blackout. Traditional damping controllers include Power System Stabilizer (PSS) and Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) controlle...

Abstract– After a disturbance occurrence, fast damping of power oscillations is essential to reduce the risk of instability and thus increase the power transfer capacity of transmission systems. Recently, the Static Series Synchronous Compensator (SSSC) has justified its ability to improve power oscillation damping. Due to substantial interactions among the SSSC damping control loops and the po...

A current source converter (CSC) based static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) is a shunt flexible AC transmission system (FACTS) device, which has a vital role in stability support for transient instability and damping support for undesirable interarea oscillations in an interconnected power network. A robust pole-shifting based controller for CSC-STATCOM with damping stabilizer is proposed. ...

Unified power flow controller (UPFC), as one of the most important FACTS devices, can be used to increase the damping of power system oscillation. The effect rate of this controller on increasing oscillation damping depends on the appropriate selection of input controlling signal, optimal selection of UPFC controlling parameters, and its proper position in power system. In this paper, the capab...

This paper proposes a new control approach for a unified power flow controller (UPFC) for power system oscillation damping. This control is simple to implement, yet is valid over a wide range of operating conditions. It is also effective in the presence of multiple modes of oscillation. The proposed control is implemented in several test systems and is compared against a traditional PI control.
