An SSSC-Based Hybrid Series Compensation Scheme Capable of Damping Subsynchronous Resonance

The recently proposed phase-imbalanced series capacitive compensation concept has been shown to be effective in enhancing power system dynamics since it has the potential to damp power swings as well as subsynchronous resonance oscillations. In this paper, the series capacitive compensation concept is investigated for damping subsynchronous resonance oscillations using a static synchronous series compensator (SSSC)-based hybrid series-capacitive compensation scheme. In this scheme, the series capacitive compensation in one phase is created by using a single-phase SSSC in series with a fixed capacitor , and the other two phases are compensated by the fixed series capacitors (C). The validity and effectiveness of the proposed scheme are evaluated on the IEEE first and second benchmark models for computer simulation of subsynchronous resonance by means of time-domain simulation analysis using the Electromagnetic Transients Program-RV program.
