SSR Alleviation using BVLC Supplementary Controlled SVS of Series Compensated Power System

Abstract The sub synchronous resonance (SSR) is a substantial problem in power system having a steam turbine generator connected to a series compensated transmission system. Flexible AC transmission systems (FACTS) controllers are widely applied to mitigate SSR. In this paper, a bus voltage and line current (BVLC) supplementary subsynchronous damping controller (SSDC) is proposed to alleviate subsynchronous resonance (SSR) and damping power system oscillations in a power system. Both eigenvalue investigation and time-domain simulation results verify that the proposed method can damp torsional oscillations of the power system with SVS bus voltage and line current (BVLC) supplementary controller. The results demonstrate that the proposed controller has a successful performance in minimizing the SSR. It is shown that the controller is able to stabilize all unstable modes. The study is performed on the system adapted from the IEEE first benchmark model. All the simulations are carried out in MATLAB/SIMULINK environment.
