Analysis of the combined effects of SVC and SSSC controllers to improve power system stability

Abstract

The primary challenge facing the electricity transmission system in the aftermath of the disruption is reestablishing stability. Through adjustment of the transmission parameters, the Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) devices have the potential to bring the system back into stable operation. It has been shown that using many FACTS devices together is more effective than using any one device alone. In this paper, the concept of coordination control between a Static Var Compensator (SVC) and a Static Synchronous Series Compensator (SSSC) is suggested in order to make the system more stable. The equivalent impedance of the line may be reduced by using the SSSC, which will also result in improved active power transfer capabilities for the line. A static var compensator, often known as an SVC, is used for shunt compensation in order to keep the bus voltage magnitude stable. When compared to the use of a single device, the use of SVC and SSSC coordinated control results in a much quicker arrival to the steady state response of the system. Both of these devices are controlled by using the same signal input tracking. It has also been seen that the system has resumed its previous synchronized state.
