A Simple Modeling of Static Series Synchronous Compensator in NEPLAN for Power System Control

SSSC is an important member of Flexible AC transmission Systems (FACTS) device family. It is considered to be a superior series FACTS device, as it has the ability to control the flow of both active and reactive power in a transmission line. Therefore, it is important to have a model for this device to facilitate studies involving it. This paper presents a simple SSSC model in NEPLAN power system analysis software, where it mainly depends on power injection method. This model is developed so that it can be utilized in studies concerned with SSSC in NEPLAN software, as the software suffers a lack of such a model. This model is tested on the standard IEEE 30 bus and IEEE 14-bus systems in different conditions to ensure its performance, quality in various load flow calculations and effectivity in NEPLAN software.
