Application of Synchronous Static Series Compensator (SSSC) on enhancement of voltage stability and power oscillation damping

This paper investigates the problem of controlling and modulating power flow in a transmission line using a Synchronous Static Series Compensator (SSSC). The studies, which include detailed techniques of twelve- pulse and PWM controlled SSSC, are conducted and the control circuits are presented. The developed control strategies for both twelve-pulse and PWM-controlled SSSC use direct manipulations of control variables instead of typical d-q transformations. The complete digital simulation of the SSSC within the power system is performed in the MATLAB/Simulink environment using the Power System Blockset (PSB). Simulation results validate that Voltage and Power Oscillation can be damped properly using of Synchronous Static Series Compensator (SSSC).
