Abstract

This paper presents a detailed simulation model of the static synchronous series compensator for the real time digital simulator. The RTDS is a fully digital electromagnetic transients power system simulator that operates in real time and replaces the previous generation of network analyzers which were based on analog technology. It has been created specifically for real time power system simulation, utilizing advanced custom hardware and software technologies. The SSSC is a FACTS device which is based on the voltage source converter technology employing gate turn-off thyristors in the 2 level inverter which is coupled to a DC capacitor on one end and to the transmission line through a series transformer on the other. The model is verified for standard operational characteristics of the device in a simple 2 bus network and is prepared for further implementation in bigger and more complex networks
