TRANSFORMER SECONDARY AND TERITIARY WINDINGS[9]
 In 48 pulse converter total of 24 single phase
transformers are taken out of which
18 are 1 phase 3 winding transformers
6 are 1 phase 3 winding transformers

 1st and 5th 6pulse inverters are connected to 1

phase 2 winding transformers
The turns ratio of various transformers in the
magnetic circuit are as shown in the table below.

DESIGN OF SSSC
 The 48 pulse converter thus designed above is
connected in series with the line with the help
of interfacing transformer as shown in the
figure below.

[9

 The test data for simulation of SSSC using 48 pulse
converter is taken from the Eigen value Analysis
of IEEE first bench mark model used for the SSR
analysis.
 A PI controller is designed in order to vary the
amount of induced voltage in to the line so that
amount of power flowing through the line gets
varied.
 The amount of induced voltage is directly
proportional to the dc capacitor voltage as
shown below
Vinj =8σVan
Van =2Vdc/∏
Van is line to neutral voltage of single 6-pulse
converter
Vab=16√3σVdc/∏
 SSSC is made to operate capacitor by
inducing a voltage 90 deg lagging to that of
the line current
 It is also operated as an inductor by making

the induced voltage lead the line current by 90

deg
 The simulation results of both inductive and

capacitive regions are obtained

Cost Comparison of SSSC with TCSC and TSSC

 In the case of TCSC and TSSC, the insulation cost,

maintenance cost are high but installation cost is
low.
 In the case of SSSC the insulation cost,
maintenance cost are low but installation cost is
high because of coupling transformers and a 48-
pulse VSI.
CONCLUSION
 SSSC with its superior characteristics like immunity to
sub synchronous resonance, power oscillation
damping, quick response time, wider control range,
and lower maintenance cost can be used effectively for
series compensation of the Transmission line.

 Thus due to above superior characteristics SSSC is

going to replace all the conventional series
compensators
