Abstract :
An application of a solid-state static VAr compensator (SSSVC) to modulate the reactive power requirement in the system by controlling the voltage profile of the network is shown. The mathematical model for a single-machine infinite bus is developed based on a prior optimized switching pattern for various modulation indexes which, when applied to the inverter to control the output voltage, enhance the power system dynamics. It is demonstrated that the steady-state stability of a power system can be improved by effective modulation of the reactive power in the system. Voltages and power flows are locally measured at the SSSVC location and conditioned for proper utilization as control signals for the SSSVC to improve the damping of interties
