Problem statement: Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM) and Static Synchronous Series Compensator (SSSC) have been individually applied to improve stability of power system. Approach: This study presents the coordination of a STATCOM and SSSC for improving power system stability. The swing curves of the three phase faulted power system with various cases are tested and compared. Results: Th...

In this paper, two vector control systems for investigating the performance of Static Synchronous Series Compensators (SSSC) in steady state conditions are presented that are based on famous d-q axis theory. The workability of proposed method to simplify the SSSC mathematical expressions is shown. The performance of SSSC with two different vector controllers, first based on d-q line current...

Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM) can improve power factor and dynamic stability on power system. STATCOM is Multiple Input and Multiple Output (MIMO) system, which can be presented by a mathematical model. This paper presents an application of Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) as a modern tool to design controller parameter of weighting matrices Q and R of the LQ optimal control to obta...

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...

This paper presents transient stability and power flow models of static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) and current Sourced Inverter (CSI) based Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) Controllers. A model of the static synchronous compensator (STATCOM), the application of the static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) in improving transient stability in power systems.MATLAB/SIMULINK is used to...
