 1.ABSTRACT

In recent years, power demand has increased substantially while the expansion of power
generation and transmission has been severely limited due to limited resources and
environmental restrictions. As a consequence, some transmission lines are heavily loaded and the
system stability becomes a power transfer-limiting factor. Flexible AC transmission systems
(FACTS) controllers have been mainly used for solving various power system steady state
control problems. However, recent studies reveal that FACTS controllers could be employed to
enhance power system stability in addition to their main function of power flow control. The
literature shows an increasing interest in this subject for the last two decades, where the
enhancement of system stability using FACTS controllers has been extensively investigated.
This paper presents a comprehensive review on the research and developments in the power
system stability enhancement using FACTS damping controllers. Several technical issues related
to FACTS installations have been highlighted and performance comparison of different FACTS
controllers has been discussed.

Power system engineers are currently facing challenges to increase the power transfer
capabilities of existing transmission system. This is where the flexible ac transmission systems
(facts) technology comes into effect. With relatively low investment, compared to new
transmission or generation facilities, the facts technology allows the industries to better utilize
the existing transmission and generation reserves, while enhancing the power system
performance.

Moreover, the current trend of deregulated electricity market also favors the facts controllers in
many ways. Facts controllers in the deregulated electricity market allow the system to be used in
more flexible way with increase in various stability margins. Facts controllers are products of
facts technology; a group of power electronics controllers expected to revolutionize the power
transmission and distribution system in many ways. The facts controllers clearly enhance power
system performance, improve quality of supply and also provide an optimal utilization of the
existing resources.

Flexible alternating-current transmission systems (FACTS) are defined by the IEEE as “ac
transmission systems incorporating power electronics-based and other static controllers to
enhance controllability and increase power transfer capability”.

3.LITERATURE SURVEY

5
A literature survey has been carried out including two of the most important and common
databases, namely, the IEEE/IEE electronic library and Science Direct electronic databases. The
survey spans over the last 15 years from 1990 to 2004. For convenience, this period has been
divided to three sub-periods;1990–1994, 1995–1999, and 2000–2004. The number of
publications discussing FACTS applications to different power system studies has been recorded.
The results of the survey are shown in Figure 1. It is clear that the applications of FACTS to
different power system studies have been drastically increased in last five years. This observation
is more pronounced with the second generation devices as the interest is almost tripled. This
shows more interest for the VSC-based FACTS applications. The results also show a decreasing
interest in TCPS while the interest in SVC and TCSC slightly increase. Generally, both
generations of FACTS have been applied to different areas in power system studies including
optimal power flow economic power dispatch voltage stability power system security and power
quality Applications of FACTS to power system stability in particular have been carried out
using same databases.

The results of this survey are shown in Figure. It was found that the ratio of FACTS applications
to the stability study with respect to other power system studies is more than 60% in general.
This reflects clearly the increasing interest to the different FACTS controllers as potential
solutions for power system stability enhancement problem. It is also clear that the interest in the
2nd generation of FACTS has been drastically increased while the interest in the 1stgeneration
was decreased. The potential of FACTS controllers to enhance power system stability has been
discussed by Noorozian and Anderson where a comprehensive analysis of damping of power
system electromechanical oscillations using FACTS was presented. Wang and Swift have
discussed the damping torque contributed by FACTS devices,where several important points
have been analyzed and confirmed through simulations.

FIRST GENERATION OF FACTS

Static VAR Compensator (SVC)

It is known that the SVCs with an auxiliary injection of a suitable signal can considerably
improve the dynamic stability performance of a power system]. In the literature, SVCs have been
applied successfully to improve the transient stability of a synchronous machine .Hammad
presented a fundamental analysis of the application of SVC for enhancing the power systems
stability. Then, the low frequency oscillation damping enhancement via SVC has been
analyzed .It is shown that the SVC enhances the system damping of local as well as inter area
oscillation modes.

Thyristor-Controlled Series Capacitor (TCSC)

Many different techniques have been reported in the literature pertaining to investigating the
effect of TCSC on power system stability .Several approaches based on modern control theory
have been applied to TCSC controller design.
A fuzzy logic controller for a TCSC was proposed in .The impedance of the TCSC was adjusted
based on machine rotor angle and the magnitude of the speed deviation. In addition, different
control schemes for a TCSC were proposed such as variable structure controlle ,bilinear
generalized predictive controller ,and H∞-based controller. The neural networks have been
proposed for TCSC-based stabilizer design. The parameters of the stabilizers are determined by
genetic algorithm (GA) technique. Lee and Moon presented a hybrid linearization method in
which the algebraic and the numerical linearization technique were combined.

8
Thyristor-Controlled Phase Shifter (TCPS)

A considerable attention has been directed to realization of various TCPS schemes .However, a
relatively little work in TCPS control aspects has been reported in the literature. Baker developed
a control
algorithm for TCPS using stochastic optimal control theory.
In real-life power system with a large number of generators, the rotor angle of a single generator
measured with respect to the system reference will not be very meaningful. Tan and Wang
proposed a direct feedback linearization technique to linearize and decouple the power system
model to design the excitation and TCPS controllers.

SECOND GENERATION OF FACTS

Static Compensator (STATCOM)

The emergence of FACTS devices and in particular GTO thyristor-based STATCOM has
enabled such technology to be proposed as serious competitive alternatives to conventional SVC.
From the power system
dynamic stability viewpoint, the STATCOM provides better damping characteristics than the
SVC as it is able to transiently exchange active power with the system.
The effectiveness of the STATCOM to control the power system voltage was presented in
.However, the effectiveness of the STATCOM to enhance the angle stability has not been
addressed. Abido presented a
singular value decomposition (SVD) based approach to assess and measure the controllability of
the poorly damped electromechanical modes by STATCOM different control channels. It was
also concluded that the STATCOM-based damping stabilizers extend the critical clearing time
and enhance greatly the power system transient stability. Haque demonstrated by the use of
energy function the capability of the STATCOM to provide additional damping to the low
frequency oscillations.

9
The STATCOM damping characteristics have been also analyzed and addressed where different
approaches to STATCOM-based damping controller design have been adopted such as loop-
shaping poleplacement
,multivariable feedback linearization ,H∞ control, and intelligent contol .

Static Synchronous Series Compensator (SSSC)

The SSSC has been applied to different power system studies to improve the system performance
.There has been some work done to utilize the characteristics of the SSSC to enhance power
system stability .Wang investigated the damping control function of an SSSC installed in power
systems. The linearized model of the SSSC integrated into power systems was established and
methods to design the SSSC damping controller were proposed A control strategy of an SSSC to
enlarge the stability region has been derived using the direct method. The effectiveness of the
SSSC to extend the critical clearing time has been confirmed though simulation results on a
single machine infinite bus system.

Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC)

A unified power flow controller (UPFC) is the most promising device in the FACTS concept. It
has the ability to adjust the three control parameters, A UPFC performs this through the control
of the in-phase voltage, quadrature voltage, and shunt compensation .It was shown that a
significant reduction in the transient swing can be obtained by using a simple proportional
feedback of machine rotor angle deviation. Fujita et al, investigated the high frequency power
fluctuations induced by a UPFC. Several trials have been reported in the literature to model a
UPFC for steady-state and transient studies. Under the assumption that the power system is
symmetrical and operates under three-phase balanced conditions,

10
 4.CLASSIFICATION SCHEME

In our proposal, FACTS controllers are classified by considering five independent

characteristics:

1) Connection;
2) Commutation;
3) Switching frequency;
4) Energy storage; and
5) Dc port.

Connection

FACTS controllers modify the series and parallel impedances of transmission lines. The way a
FACTS controller is connected to the ac power system has a direct effect on the transfer of active
and reactive power within the system. Series connected controllers are usually employed in
active power control and to improve the transient stability of power systems. Shunt connected
controllers govern reactive power and improve the dynamic stability. The IEEE groups FACTS
controllers into three main categories based on how they are connected to
the ac power system: series, shunt, and combined series-and-shunt .
We follow this, but we first divide them into one-port and two-port connections, then subdivide
the one-ports into series and parallel(shunt) connections. (When counting the number of ports,
only the ac ports are considered:
Dc ports for energy storage elements such as batteries are considered separately.)
Connection = one-port, series one-port, parallel or two-port
One of these three is chosen as the first symbol (S1) of the five-part classification string.

Commutation

Commutation is a major characteristic of the semiconductor switching devices employed in

FACTS controllers. Commutation can either be forced as with GTOs, or natural as with SCRs,

11
which turn off at zero current. (There are, of course, ways of forcing an SCR to turn off at non-
zero current.
For example, an auxiliary device can be employed to force the current in the main SCR to zero.
We classify this case as FC, because in operation a non-zero current can be turned off at an
arbitrary time.)

Commutation = forced commutation (FC); or natural commutation (NC)

For NC the number of commutations during a synchronous frequency cycle is fixed, whereas for
FC
it is variable at will. One of these is chosen as the second symbol (S2) of the classification string.

A. Switching Frequency

Power systems have a synchronous frequency of 50 or 60 Hz, whereas power electronics based
systems can operate over a wide range of switching frequencies. The choice of switching
frequency affects the level of harmonics that controller introduces into the power system: a
higher frequency allows lower harmonic levels. It also has an effect on the devices’ switching
loss: the higher the frequency, the greater the loss. A tradeoff must be made. With natural
commutation; the switching frequency of each device is generally “low”, equal to the system’s
synchronous frequency of 50/60Hz.
Alternatively, to improve harmonic performance, the
Switching waveforms may be notched or otherwise modified. We call this “medium” switching
frequency: a few times the synchronous frequency.
Finally, “high” frequency switching may be used, typically using pulse-width modulation with a
carrier frequency many times the mains frequency.
To put some numbers to this, “low” can be considered as frequencies up to and including the
50/60H mains frequency. We suggest that “medium” should refer to switching frequencies fs
between one and ten times the synchronous frequency f (e.g. 100–500Hz for a 50Hz system).
Frequencies higher than this are classified as “high”. The upper limit of operation is set by the
device characteristics. GTOs are currently the device of choice in power system applications.

12
They are less expensive than other types and have higher blocking voltages and forward currents.
They can turn on in typically 5–10µ s and turn off in about 10–30µ s. This leads to a
recommended switching frequency of about 3 kHz, with
an upper limit of perhaps 5kHz imposed by excessive switching loss .
Switching frequency = low, 0 < fs ≤ f (LF); medium f < fs ≤ 10f (MF); or high, fs > 10f (HF)

B. Energy Storage

In certain controllers, particularly those that must absorb and deliver active power, substantial
energy storage is needed. By substantial, we mean enough to deliver active power to the power
system over an interval of a few seconds or more. In some other controllers, reactive power is
generated and the only active power is that associated with parasitic losses. Energy storage
elements have to be able to provide transient overload capability for several cycles. Energy
storage at time scales comparable to a mains cycle is excluded from consideration as
insignificant.
Energy storage = zero energy storage (ZES); capacitor energy storage (CES); battery energy
storage (BES); superconducting energy storage (SES); or external energy source (EES)
where E is the available energy stored within the controller, S is its rated apparent power and f is
the synchronous frequency. The aim is to get a feel for the time scale of the various energy
storage categories.
A physical interpretation is that N is the number of mains cycles it would take for the energy E to
be delivered at a power equal to S. For example, if equipment installed in a 50Hz system is rated
at 100MVA and stores 25MJ of energy, but cannot discharge further than 15MJ, we find the
available energy E = 10MJ and N = 5 cycles.
Zero energy storage, ZES, strictly applies to controllers that have no energy storage elements,
such as the thyristor controlled braking resistor (TCBR). But we also extend this category to
include controllers
having inductors or capacitors in the ac side. This is because the time scale for delivering the
stored energy is very small. For instance, consider the static VAR compensator (SVC). The peak
stored energy in a three-phase SVC operating in capacitive mode is E = CV2, where C is the

13
equivalent SVC capacitance and V is the line voltage. The three-phase apparent power is S =
2π fCV2.

Equation(1) gives
N = 0.16 cycle.
In this context, the SVC stores an insignificant amount of energy.
Capacitive energy storage, CES, refers to controllers that use capacitors on the dc side for energy
storage and which are capable of supplying a transient overload for several cycles.
As an example, let us consider a hypothetical FACTS controller in a 60Hz power system. In
addition to its rated
100MVAr reactive power capability, under transient conditions this equipment must supply
125MW of active power for 10 cycles. To achieve this, the energy stored in the dc capacitor
bank must be at least 125MW × 10 / 60Hz = 20.8MJ. Suppose the dc capacitor voltage is
nominally 6kV.
Then E =½CV2
gives the minimum capacitance as C = 1.16F. In practice C must be larger, because the dc
voltage should be kept close to its nominal value for the power converter to work properly.
Let the voltage fall to 5kV at the end of the transient. The capacitance must now be 3.78F,
corresponding to a maximum stored energy of 68.07MJ and a minimum of 47.25MJ .
For this case, (1) gives N = (68.07– 47.25)MJ × 60Hz /100MVA = 10 cycles.
With battery energy storage, BES, electrochemical batteries can be used to supply active power
at peak times. The time scale is much greater than CES and ZES, around an hour. Therefore N
≈ 2 × 105 cycles. (Since a battery’s voltage remains substantially constant throughout its
discharge, the unavailable capacity is small, unlike CES.)

E. DC Port

The current FACTS controllers can also be divided into two groups according to the presence or
absence of a dc port. In the first group, those with no dc port, the components are subjected to
alternating voltages and currents only. This group generally employs physical impedance
(usually inductors or capacitors) together with back-to-back thyristors. Examples include the

14
SVC and the TCSC. The second group, more recently developed, is those that include one or
more ac/dc converters between the ac power system and a dc port. Examples are the SSC and the
SSSC. Often no physical impedance is interposed between the ac port and the converter, the
leakage inductance of the ac port’s step down transformer providing sufficient reactance.
The ac/dc converter is controlled in such a way that the desired ac port characteristics are
produced.
Dc port = dc port employed (DC); or no dc port employed

The first group of controllers has a physical

impedance for X, and V = 0. For the second group, X is the leakage reactance of the step-down
transformer (referred to the secondary), and V is the fundamental voltage phasor of the ac/dc
converter. to X, so if X is small (e.g. transformer leakage reactance), only a small change in A is
needed to move Q over its rated range. An advantage resulting from this is that the magnitude of
V is always close to that of E, so the dc port voltages can be relatively low, somewhat in excess
of ± 2 E . A practical disadvantage of small X is that fault currents can be very large, in the
order of E/X.
Another drawback is that the converter can inject large high-frequency harmonic currents into
the power system even at the switching frequency, the reactance is still quite small.

5. TYPES OF FACTS CONTROLLERS

15
In general FACTS controllers can be divided into the following four categories:

A. SERIES CONTROLLERS
In principle all the series controllers inject voltage in series with the line. Series connected
controller impacts the driving voltage and hence, the current and power flow directly. Static
Synchronous Series Compensator (SSSC), Thyristor Controlled Series Compensator (TCSC) etc.
are the examples of series controllers.
Some Basic Arrangement of Series Controller

1. Static Synchronous Series Compensator (SSSC)

The Static Synchronous Series Compensator (SSSC) uses a VSC interfaced in series to a
transmission line, as shown in.

Fig. 4 SSSC - A VSC interfaced in series to a transmission line

Again, the active power exchanged with the line has to be maintained at zero - hence, in
steady state operation, SSSC is a functional equivalent of an infinitely variable series connected
capacitor. The SSSC offers fast control and it is inherently neutral to sub-synchronous resonance.

2.Thyristor Controlled Series Compensator

16
 It is obvious that power transfer between areas can be affected by adjusting the net series
impedance. One such conventional and established method of increasing transmission line
capability is to install a series capacitor, which reduces the net series impedance, thus allowing
additional power to be transferred. Although this method is well known, slow switching times is
the limitation of its use. Thyristor controllers, on the other hand, are able to rapidly and
continuously control the line compensation over a continuous range with resulting flexibility.
Controller used for series compensation is the Thyristor Controlled Series Compensator (TCSC).
TCSC controllers use thyristor-controlled reactor (TCR) in parallel with capacitor segments
of series capacitor bank The combination of TCR and capacitor allow the capacitive reactance to
be smoothly controlled over a wide range and switched upon command to a condition where the
bi-directional thyristor pairs conduct continuously and insert an inductive reactance into the line.
TCSC is an effective and economical means of solving problems of transient stability,
dynamic stability, steady state stability and voltage stability in long transmission lines. TCSC,
the first generation of FACTS, can control the line impedance through the introduction of a
thyristor controlled capacitor in series with the transmission line.
A TCSC is a series controlled capacitive reactance that can provide continuous control of
power on the ac line over a wide range. The functioning of TCSC can be comprehended by
analyzing the behavior of a variable inductor connected in series with a fixed capacitor, as shown
in Figure.

B. SHUNT CONTROLLERS
All shunt controllers inject current into the system at the point of connection. The shunt
controller is like a current source, which draws/injects current from/into the line. Static
Synchronous Compensator (SSC), Static Synchronous Generator (SSG), Thyristor Controlled
Reactor (TCR) etc are the examples of shunt controllers

1 Static VAR Compensator (SVC)

17
The conventional static VAR compensator consists of a capacitor in parallel with a thyristor
controlled reactor It is conventionally used to stabilise a busbar voltage and improve dampingof
the dynamic oscillation of power systems. The SVC has a single port with a parallel connection
to the power system,

2.Unified Power Flow Controller(UPFC)

The Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) combines the above two compensators into
one. The DC terminals of the two underlying VSCs are now coupled, and this creates a path
for active power exchange between the converters. Hence, the active power supplied to the
line by the series converter, can now be supplied by the shunt converter, as shown in Fig.

This topology offers three degrees of freedom, or more precisely - four degrees of freedom
(two associated with each VSC) with one constraint (active powers of the VSCs must

18
 match). Therefore, a fundamentally different range of control options is available compared
to STATCOM or SSSC. The UPFC can be used to control the flow of active and reactive
power through the line and to control the amount of reactive power supplied to the line at
the point of installation.

C. COMBINED SERIES-SHUNT CONTROLLERS

This could be a combination of separate shunt and series controllers, which are controlled in
a coordinated manner. Combined shunt and series controllers inject current into the system with
the shunt part of the controller and voltage in series in the line with the series part of the
controller. Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) and Thyristor Controlled Phase Shifting
Transformer (TCPST) are the examples of shunt series controllers.

D. COMBINED SERIES-SERIES CONTROLLERS

This could be a combination of separate series controllers, which are controlled in a

coordinated manner, in a multi-line transmission system or it could be a unified controller, in
which series controller provides independent series reactive compensation for each line but also
transfer real power among the line via the power link.

19
E. Interphase Power Controller (IPC)

The IPC is a series controller of active and reactive power. It consists of inductive and capacitive
branches subjected to separately phase-shifted voltages. The active and reactive power can be set
independently by adjusting the phase shifters and/or branch impedances, using mechanical or
electronic switches. The IPC can regulate both the direction and the amount of active power
transmitted through a transmission line [.The IPC is a two-port circuit (in series with a
transmission line and in parallel with a busbar); it uses natural commutation; its switching
frequency is low; it has insignificant energy storage; and it has no dc port.

F. Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC)

The UPFC is a combination of an SSC and an SSSC, sharing a common dc link. The UPFCcan
control both the active and reactive power flow in the line. It can also provide independently
controllable shunt reactive compensation [1]. In other words, the UPFC can provide
simultaneouscontrol of all the basic transmission line parameters. The UPFC is a two-port circuit
(in series with a transmission line and parallel with a busbar); it uses forced commutation; its
switching frequency is high; it has capacitive energy storage; and it employs
a dc port.

20
 6. DISCUSSION

Within this classification scheme, two major groups of FACTS controllers can be recognised.
First,there are conventional controllers which have insignificant energy storage and use SCR
thyristors astheir switches. These commutate naturally at the mains frequency, adjusting the
effective value of a
passive capacitive/inductive reactance by varying the firing angle of the thyristors. Second, more
advanced FACTS controllers utilise high-frequency switching with forced commutation,typically
using GTOs, and have a dc port. The circuits contain only small inductances. Closedloop control
is applied to produce the desired currents or voltages at the terminals.
All existing FACTS controllers may be classified according to the proposed scheme, which
currently allows 180 possibilities (including all possible and impossible cases). It is extendible in
future byadding further choices to the existing categories, and by adding new characteristics if
these should become relevant. We hope that this proposal will be adopted (perhaps adapted!) as
the basis of a universal classification scheme for FACTS controllers increased.

9. MODELING USING SIMULATION

STATCOM (Detailed Model)

This demonstration illustrates operation of a +100 Mvar/-100 Mvar 48-pulse GTO

STATCOM Circuit Description

A 100-Mvar STATCOM regulates voltage on a three-bus 500-kV system. The 48-

pulse STATCOM uses a Voltage-Sourced Converter (VSC) built of four 12-pulse three-
level GTO inverters. Look inside the STATCOM block to see how the VSC inverter is
built. The four sets of three-phase voltages obtained at the output of the four three-level
inverters are applied to the secondary windings of four phase-shifting transformers (-15
deg., -7.5 deg., 7.5 deg., +7.5 deg. phase shifts). The fundamental components of

24
voltages obtained on the 500 kV side of the transformers are added in phase by the serial
connection of primary windings.

During steady-state operation the STATCOM control system keeps the fundamental
component of the VSC voltage in phase with the system voltage. If the voltage generated
by the VSC is higher (or lower) than the system voltage, the STATCOM generates (or
absorbs) reactive power. The amount of reactive power depends on the VSC voltage
magnitude and on the transformer leakage reactance. The fundamental component of
VSC voltage is controlled by varying the DC bus voltage. In order to vary the DC
voltage, and therefore the reactive power, the VSC voltage angle (alpha) which is
normally kept close to zero is temporarily phase shifted. This VSC voltage lag or lead
produces a temporary flow of active power which results in an increase or decrease of
capacitor voltages.
One of the three voltage sources used in the 500 kV system equivalents can be be
varied in order to observe the STATCOM dynamic response to changes in system
voltage. Open the "Programmable Voltage Source" menu and look at the sequence of
voltage steps which are programmed

Demonstration: Dynamic response of the STATCOM

Run the simulation and observe waveforms on the STATCOM scope block. The
STATCOM is in voltage control mode and its reference voltage is set to Vref=1.0 pu.
The voltage droop of the regulator is 0.03 pu/100 VA.Therefore when the STATCOM
operating point changes from fully capacitive (+100 Mvar) to fully inductive (-100 Mvar)
the STATCOM voltage varies between 1-0.03=0.97 pu and 1+0.03=1.03 pu.

Initially the programmable voltage source is set at 1.0491 pu, resulting in a 1.0 pu
voltage at SVC terminals when the STATCOM is out of service. As the reference
voltage Vref is set to 1.0 pu, the STATCOM is initially floating (zero current). The
DCvoltage is 19.3 kV. At t=0.1s, voltage is suddenly decreased by 4.5 % (0.955 pu of
nominal voltage). The SVC reacts by generating reactive power (Q=+70 Mvar) in order

25
to keep voltage at 0.979 pu. The 95% settling time is approximately 47 ms. At this point
the DC voltage has increasded to 20.4 kV. Then, at t=0.2 s the source voltage is increased
to1.045 pu of its nominal value.The SVC reacts by changing its operating point from
capacitive to inductive in order to keep voltage at 1.021 pu. At this point the STATCOM
absorbs 72 Mvar and the DC voltage has been lowered to 18.2 kV. Observe on the first
trace showing the
STATCOM primary voltage and current that the current is changing from
capacitive to inductive in approximately one cycle.
Finally, at t=0.3 s the source voltage in set back to its nominal value and the STATCOM
operating point comes back to zero Mvar.If you look inside the "Signals and Scopes"
subsystem you will have access to other control signals. Notice the transient changes on
alpha angle when the DC voltage is increased or decreased in order to vary reactive
power. The steady state value of alpha (0.5 degrees) is the phase shift required to
maintain a small active power flow compensating transformer and converter losses.

SSSC (Phasor Model)

Static Synchronous Series Compensator (SSSC) used for power oscillation damping
Circuit Description
The Static Synchronous Series Compensator (SSSC), one of the key FACTS
devices, consists of a voltage-sourced converter and a transformer connected in series
with a transmission line. The SSSC injects a voltage of variable magnitude in quadrature
with the line current, thereby emulating an inductive or capacitive reactance. This
emulated variable reactance in series with the line can then influence the transmitted
electric power. In our demo, the SSSC is used to damp power oscillation on a power grid
following a three-phase fault.
The power grid consists of two power generation substations and one major load
center at bus B3. The first power generation substation (M1) has a rating of 2100 MVA,
representing 6 machines of 350 MVA and the other one (M2) has a rating of 1400 MVA,
representing 4 machines of 350 MVA. The load center of approximately 2200 MW is
modeled using a dynamic load model where the active & reactive power absorbed by the

26
load is a function of the system voltage.The generation substation M1 is connected to
this load by two transmission lines L1 and L2. L1 is 280-km long and L2 is split in two
segments of 150 km in order to
simulate a three-phase fault (using a fault breaker) at the midpoint of the line. The
generation substation M2 is also connected to the load bya 50-km line (L3). When the
SSSC is bypass, the power flow towards this major load is as follows: 664 MW flow on
L1 (measured at bus B2), 563 MW flow on L2 (measured at B4) and 990 MW flow on
L3 (measured at B3).
The SSSC, located at bus B1, is in series with line L1. It has a rating of 100MVA and
is capable of injecting up to 10% ofthe nominal system voltage. This SSSC is a phasor
model of a typical three-level PWM SSSC. If you open the SSSC dialog box
and select "Display Power data", you will see that our model represents a SSSC having a
DC link nominal voltage of 40kv an equivalent capacitance of 375 uF. On the AC side,
its total equivalent impedance is 0.16 pu on 100 MVA. This impedance
represents the transformer leakage reactance and the phase reactor of the IGBT bridge
of an actual PWM SSSC.The SSSC injected voltage reference is normally set by a POD
(Power Oscillation Damping) controller whose output is connected to the Vqref input of
the SSSC. The POD controller consists of an active power measurement system, a
general gain, a low-pass filter, a wash out high-pass filter, a lead compensator, and an
output limiter. The inputs to the POD controller are the bus voltage at B2 and the current
flowing in L1. Use the Edit/Look under mask" menu to see how the controller is built.

Demonstration

1.SSSC Dynamic Response:

We will first verify the dynamic response of our model. Open the "Step Vqref" block (the
red timer block connected to the "Vqref" input of the POD Controller).This block should
be programmed to modify the reference voltage Vqref as follows: Initially Vqref is set to
0 pu; at t=2 s, Vqref is set to -0.08 pu (SSSC inductive); then at t=6 s, Vqref is set to 0.08
pu (SSSC capacitive).Double-click on the POD Controller block and set the POD status

27
parameter to "off". This will disable the POD controller.Also, make sure that the fault
breaker will not operate during the simulation (the parameters "Switching of phase A, B
and C" should not be selected).
Run the simulation and look at Scope1. The first graph displays the Vqref signal
(magenta trace) along with the measured injected voltage by the SSSC. The second graph
displays the active
power flow (P_B2) on line L1, measured at bus B2. We can see thatthe SSSC regulator
follows very well the reference signal Vqref. Depending on the injected voltage, the
power flow on line varies from 575 to 750 MW. In a real system the reference signal
Vqref would typically be changed much more gradually in orderto avoid the oscillation
we see on the transmitted power (P_B2 signal). Double-click on the SSSC block and
select "DisplayControl parameters". Modify the "Maximum rate of change for Vqref
(pu/s)" parameter from 3 to 0.05. Rerun the simulation.The power oscillation on the
active power should now be very small.

2.SSSC damping power oscillation

We will now compare the operation of our SSSC with and without POD control.
Open the "Step Vqref" block and multiply by 1000 the time vector in order to disable the
Vqref variations. Double-click on the fault breaker and select the parameters "Switching
of phase A, B and C" to simulate a three-phase fault. The transition times should be set as
follows: [ 20/60 30/60]+1; this means that the fault will be applied at 1.33 s and will last
for 10 cycles. Run a simulation and observe the power oscillation on the L1 line (second
graph on Scope1) following the three-phase fault.

Now, we will run a second simulation with the POD controller in operation.
Double-click on the POD Controller block and set the POD status parameter to "on".
Start the simulation. Looking again at the second graph on Scope1 (P_B2 signal), we can
see that the SSSC with a POD controller is a very effective tool to damp power
oscillation.

SVC (Phasor Model)

Phasor Simulation of a Static Var Compensator

Steady-state and Dynamic Performance of the Static Var Compensator (SVC) Phasor
Model
A static var compensator (SVC) is used to regulate voltage on a 500 kV, 3000 MVA
sytem. When system voltage is low the SVC generates reactive power (SVC capacitive).
When system voltage is high it absorbs reactive power (SVC inductive). The SVC is
rated +200 Mvar capacitive and 100 Mvar inductive. The Static Var Compensator block
is a a phasor model representing the SVC static and dynamic characteristics at the system
fundamental frequency. o see the SVC control parameters, open the SVC dialog box and
select "Display Control parameters". The SVC is set in voltage regulation mode with a
reference voltage Vref=1.0 pu. The voltage droop is 0.03 pu/ 200MVA, so that the
voltage varies from 0.97 pu to 1.015 pu when the SVC current goes from fully capacitive
to fully inductive. Double click now on the blue blockto display the SVC V-I
characteristic.
The actual SVC positive-sequence voltage (V1) and susceptance (B1) are
measured inside the 'Signal Processing' subsystem using the complex voltages Vabc and
complex currents Iabc returned by the Three-Phase V-I Measurement block.

Dynamic Response of the SVC

The Three-Phase Programmable Voltage Source is used to vary the system voltage and
observe the SVC performance. Initially
the source is generating nominal voltage. Then, voltage is successively decreased (0.97
pu at t = 0.1 s), increased (1.03 pu at t = 0.4 s) and finally returned to nominal voltage (1
pu at t = 0.7 s).
Start the simulation and observe the SVC dynamic response to voltage steps on the
Scope. Trace 1 shows the actual positive-sequence susceptance B1 and control signal
output B of the voltage regulator. Trace 2 shows the actual system positive-sequence
voltageV1 and output Vm of the SVC measurement system.

29
 The SVC response speed depends on the voltage regulator integral gain Ki
(Proportional gain Kp is set to zero), system strength (reactance Xn) and droop (reactance
Xs). If the voltage measurement time constant and average time delay Td due to valve
firin are neglected, the system can be approximated by a first order system having a
closed loop time constant :
Tc= 1/(Ki*(Xn+Xs))
With given system parameters (Ki = 300; Xn = 0.0667 pu/200 MVA; Xs = 0.03 pu/200
MVA), Tc = 0.0345 s. If you increase the regulator gain or decrease the system strength,
the measurement time constant and the valve firing delay Td will no longer be negligible
and you will observe an oscillatory response and eventually unstability.

2. Measurement of Steady-State V-I Characteristic

In order to measure the SVC steady-state V-I characteristic, you will now
program a slow variation of the source voltage.Open the Programmable Voltage Source
menu and change the "Type of Variation" parameter to "Modulation". The modulation
parameters are set to apply a sinusoidal variation of the positive-sequence voltage
between 0.75 and 1.25 pu in 20 seconds. In the Simulation->Configuration Parameters
menu change the stop time to 20 s and restart simulation. When simulation is completed,
double click the blue block. The theoretical V-I characteristic is displayed (in red)
together with the measured characteristic (in blue).

TCSC (Phasor Model)

The Thyristor Controlled Series Capacitor (TCSC) phasor test system. This phasor
tests system is similar to the TCSC thyristor-based tests system in the library. The phasor
model however usethe equivalent impedances at the fundamental frequency, neglecting
all transients, and therefore it is not as accurate as the thyristor model. Nevertheless, the
phasor model is much simpler and the speed of simulation is increased. By comparing the
responses with the detailed model we can observe very good matching of all variables in
steady-state. Some small discrepancies are caused by the thyristor resistance and other
TCSC losses which are not included in the phasor model.

30
Circuit Description
A TCSC is placed on a 500kV, long transmission line, to improve power transfer.
Without the TCSC the power transfer is around110MW, as seen during the first 0.5s of
the simulation when the TCSC is bypassed. The TCSC is modeled as a voltage source
using equivalent impedance at fundamental frequency in each phase. The nominal
compensation is 75%, i.e. assuming only capacitors (firing angle of 90deg). The natural
oscillatory frequency of the TCSC is 163Hz, which is 2.7 times the fundamental
frequency. The test system is described in [1].
The TCSC can operate in capacitive or inductive mode, although the latter is rarely
used in practice. Since the resonance
for this TCSC is around 58deg firing angle, the operation is prohibited in firing angle
range 49deg - 69deg. Note that the
resonance for the overall system (when the line impedance is included) is around 67deg.
The capacitive mode is achieved with
firing angles 69-90deg. The impedance is lowest at 90deg, and therefore power transfer
increases as the firing angle is reduced.
In capacitive mode the range for impedance values is approximately 120-136
Ohm. This range corresponds to approximately 490-830MW power transfer range
(100%-110% compensation). Comparing with the power transfer of 110 MW with an
uncompensated line, TCSC enables significant improvement in power transfer level.

To change the operating mode (inductive/capacitive/manual) use the toggle switch

in the control block dialog. The inductive
mode corresponds to the firing angles 0-49deg, and the lowest impedance is at 0deg. In
the inductive operating mode, the range of impedances is 19-60 Ohm, which corresponds
to 100-85 MW range of power transfer level. The inductive mode reduces power transfer
over the line. A constant firing angle can also be applied and the same limits will apply as
above.

TCSC Control

31
When TCSC operates in the constant impedance mode it uses voltage and current
feedback for calculating the TCSC impedance.
The reference impedance indirectly determines the power level, although an automatic
power control mode could also be introduced.

A separate PI controller is used in each operating mode. The capacitive mode also
employs a phase lead compensator. Each controller further includes an adaptive control
loop to improve performance over a wide operating range. The controller gain scheduling
compensates for the gain changes in the system, caused by the variations in the
impedance.

The TCSC is simulated as a controllable volatge source in each phase. The voltage
magnitude is the product of equivalent complex impedance and the line current. The
expression for the TCSC impedance is given in [1].

Demonstration

Run the simulation and observe waveforms on the main variables scope block.
The TCSC is in the capacitive impedance control mode and the reference impedance is
set to 128 Ohm. For the first 0.5s, the TCSC is bypassed (assuming a circuit breaker), and
the power transfer is 110 MW. At 0.5s TCSC begins to regulate the impedance to 128
Ohm and this increases power transfer to 610MW. Note that the TCSC starts with alpha
at 90deg to enable lowest switching disturbance on the line.

Dynamic Response

At 2.5s a 5% change in the reference impedance is applied. The response indicates

that TCSC enables tracking of the reference impedance and the settling time is around
500ms. At 3.3s a 4% reduction in the source voltage is applied, followed by the return to
1p.u. at 3.8s. It is seen that the TCSC controller compensates for these disturbances and

32
the TCSC impedance stays constant. The TCSC response time is 200ms-300ms. Note that
the shape of transient response is in acurate with phasor model and the thyristor based
model should be used for studying transients.

UPFC (Phasor Model)

Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) Used to Relieve Power Congestion on a

500/230 kV Grid

Circuit Description

A UPFC is used to control the power flow in a 500 kV /230 kV transmission

system. The system, connected in a loop configuration consists essentially of five buses
(B1 to B5) interconnected through transmission lines (L1, L2, L3) and two 500 kV/230
kV transformer banks Tr1 and Tr2. Two power plants located on the 230-kV system
generate a total of 1500 MW which is transmitted to a 500-kV 15000-MVA equivalent
and to a 200-MW load connected at bus B3. The plant models include a speed regulator,
an excitation system as well as a power system stabilizer (PSS). In normal operation,
most of the 1200-MW generation capacity of power plant #2 is exported to the 500-kV
equivalent through three 400-MVA transformers connected between buses B4 an B5.
For this demo we are considering a contingency case where only two transformers out of
three are available (Tr2= 2*40 MVA = 800 MVA).
Using the load flow option of the powergui block, the model has been initialized
with plants #1 and #2 generating respectively
500 MW and 1000 MW and the UPFC out of service (Bypass breaker closed). The
resulting power flow obtained at buses B1 to B5 is indicated by red numbers on the
circuit diagram. The load flow shows that most of the power generated by plant #2 is
transmitted through the 800-MVA transformer bank (899 MW out of 1000 MW), the rest
(101 MW), circulating in the loop. Transforme is therefore overloaded by 99 MVA. The
demonstration illustrates how the UPFC can relieve this power congestion.

33
 The UPFC located at the right end of line L2 is used to control the active and reactive
powers at the 500-kV bus B3, as well as the voltage at bus B_UPFC. It consists of a
phasor model of two 100-MVA, IGBT-based, converters (one connected in shunt and one
connected in series and both interconnected through a DC bus on the DC side and to the
AC power system, through couplingreactors and transformers). Parameters of the UPFC
power components are given in the dialog box. The series converter can inject a
maximum of 10% of nominal line-to-ground voltage (28.87 kV) in series with line L2.
The blue numbers on the diagramshow the power flow with the UPFC in service and
controlling the B3 active and reactive powers respectively at 687 MW and-27 Mvar.

Demonstration

1.Power control with the UPFC

Open the UPFC dialog box and select "Display Control parameters (series
converter)". The control parameters of the series converter are displayed. Verify that
"Mode of operation = Power flow control". The UPFC reference active and reactive
powers are set in the magenta blocks labeled "Pref(pu)" and "Qref(pu)". Initially the
Bypass breaker is closed and the resulting natural power flow at bus B3 is 587 MW and
-27 Mvar. The Pref block is programmed with an initial active power of 5.87 pu
corresponding to the natural flow. Then, at t=10s, Pref is increased by 1 pu (100 MW),
from 5.87 pu to 6.87 pu, while Qrefis kept constant at -0.27 pu.
Run the simulation and look on the "UPFC" scope how P and Q measured at bus B3
follow the reference values. At t=5 s, when the Bypass breaker is opened the natural
power is diverted from the Bypass breaker to the UPFC series branch without
noticeabletransient. At t=10 s, the power increases at a rate of 1 pu/s. It takes one second
for the power to increase to 687 MW. This100 MW increase of active power at bus B3 is
achieved by injecting a series voltage of 0.089 pu with an angle of 94 degrees.
This results in an approximate 100 MW decrease in the active power flowing
through Tr2 (from 899 MW to 796 MW), which now carries an acceptable load. See the
variations of active powers at buses Bto B5 on the "VPQ Lines" scope.

34
1.UPFC P-Q controllable region

Now, open the UPFC dialog box and select "Show Control parameters (series
converter)". Select "Mode of operation= Manual Voltage injection". In this control mode
the voltage generated by the series inverter is controlled by two external signals Vd, Vq
multiplexed at the "Vdqref" input and generated in the Vdqref magenta block. For the
first five seconds the Bypass breaker stays closed, so that the PQ trajectory stays at the (-
27Mvar, 587 MW) point. Then when the breaker opens, the magnitude of the injected
series voltage is ramped, from 0.0094 to 0.1 pu. At 10 s, the angle of the injected voltage
starts varying at a rate of 45 deg./s.
Run the simulation and look on the "UPFC" scope the P and Q signals who vary
according to the changing phase of the injecte voltage. At the end of the simulation,
double-click on the blue block located at the bottom right of the model. The trajectory of
the UPFC reactive power as function of its active power, measured at bus B3 will be
displayed. The area located inside the ellipse represents the UPFC controllable region.

OLTC Phase Shifting Transformer (Phasor Model)

Operation of two models of delta-hexagonal Phase Shifting Transformer (PST)

using On Load Tap Changers (OLTC).

Circuit Description
Two 120 kV 1000 MVA networks are interconnected through a phase shifting
transformer (PST). The phase shift can be varied on load by means of On Load Tap
Changers (OLTC).

Demonstration
Open loop control of power transfer in order to observe impact of phase shift on
power transfer, the phase shift is increased from zero to 32.2 degrees lagging (tap +5),
then phase shift is reduced to zero and increased again up to 32.2 degrees leading. This is

35
performed by sending 5 pulses to the "Up" input, and then, 10 pulses to the "Down" input
". As the tap selection is a relatively slow mechanical process (3 sec per tap as specified
in the "Tap selection time" parameter of the block menus), the simulation Stop time is set
to 50 s.Start simulation and observe PST operation on the Scope. Results obtained with
the two models are superimposed on five traces.

Trace 1 shows the tap position.

Trace 2 shows a superposition of positive-sequence voltages measured at bus B1

(yellow) and bus B3 (magenta).

Traces 3 shows the phase shifts of positive-sequence voltages measured at output

terminals (abc) with respect to input terminals
(ABC).
Trace 4 compares the active power measured at bus B1 (yellow) and bus B3
(magenta).When simulation starts the OLTCs are at position 0 (zero phase shift). As the
two networks are symmetrical with both internal angles set at 0 degree, there is no current
flowing. Then, phase shift is increased and bus B2 (or B4) is lagging bus B1 (or B3). As
B2 is lagging the internal voltage of the source located on right side, power flows from
right to left. Power measured from left to right is therefore negative for positive tap
positions. The maximum power is obtained at tap +5 or -5 when the phase shift is
respectively -32.2 degrees and +32.2 degrees. The active power can be computed from
P= V1.V2*sin(psi)/(X1 +X2 + Xpst) , where: V1=V2=internal voltages= 1.0 pu ; X1=
X2 = network reactances = 1pu /1000 MVA Xpst= PST leakage reactance at tap 5. The
PST leakage reactance varies with tap position (from zero at tap zero to 0.15 pu at
maximum tap (10)). The positive-sequence impedance of the phasor model is available as
a signal at its measurement output "m". The reactance obtained at tap 5 is Xpst=0.1067
pu/ 300 MVA. The total reactance expressed in pu/100 MVA is X= 0.1 +0.1 + 0.1067/3
=0.2356 pu/100 MVA. The expected active power at tap 5 is P= 1*sin(32.2deg)/0.2356 =
2.26 pu/100 MVA or 226 MW, which corresponds well with the measured value on trace
4 (224 MW). Because of the voltage developed across the PST leakage reactance, the

36
phase shift measured between PST input and output voltages (trace 3) is lower than the
expected value. For example, 27.2 degrees is obtained at tap 5, instead of the 32.2
degrees theoretical value computed at no load. The phase shift variation depends on load
current. Initializing the phasor model
For the phasor model to start initialized at t=0, the current sources used in the model
must be initialized with current values
corresponding to steady state. Suppose that you want to start with the initial tap position
5. First, in the two block menus. "set Initial tap" parameter to 5. Then disconnect the
signals connected to the "Up" and "Down" inputs of the two models,so that the taps
stay at position 5. If you start simulation you will notice a transient in the phasor model
signals at t=0 because the model is not initialized. Use the "Steady-State Voltages and
Currents" option of the powergui to obtain the initial current flowing in the detailed
model at bus B4. The phase A output current identified "B2/Ia" is 1129.4 A rms,169
degrees. This current converted to per unit based on PST rating is 1129/1443 = 0.7824
pu/ 300MVA. Specify [ 0.7824 169] in the "Initial pos. seq. output current" parameter. If
you now restart simulation, you should observe no transient at t=0.
Operation under unbalanced condition.The phasor model is valid for unbalanced
conditions. If you check "Phase A Fault" in the two fault breakers, a single phase fault
will be applied at t=5s. The currents measured at buses B1 and B3 should be identical.
(For example at tap position +5: Ia=3.48 pu, Ib=2.25 pu Ic=2.10 pu ). Simulation with
phasor model only.In order to appreciate the gain in simulation speed provided by the
phasor model, delete the detailed PST model and replace it with a duplicate of the phasor
model. Reconnect control signals to the "Up" and "Down" inputs. Restart simulation. The
model runs approximately 5 times faster, mainly because the OLTC switches of the
detailed model are not simulated.

37
10. FACTS TECHNOLOGY IMPLEMENTATION AND
DEVELOPMENT

FACTS Installations and Utility Experience

In the emerging deregulated power systems, FACTS controllers will

provide several benefits at existing or enhanced levels of reliability
such as balancing the power flow in parallel networks over a wide
range of operating conditions, alleviating unwanted loop flow,
mitigating interarea power oscillations, and enhancing the power-
transfer capacity of existing transmission corridors.
In addition to the several successful installations of the first
generation, the second generation of FACTS controllers which uses
GTO-based VSC configurations is expected to evolve into another
mature family of FACTS controllers as several power utilities worldwide
have started installing such controllers. In 1991, a ±80 MVAR
STATCOM developed by Kansai Electric Power Co. (KEPCO) and
Mitsubishi Motors was installed at Inuyama

38
Switching Station to improve the stability of a 154 kV system .In 1995,
a ±100 MVAR STATCOM was commissioned for the Tennessee Valley
Authority (TVA) [173–175]. The TVA STATCOM is the first of its kind,
using GTO thyristor valves, to be commissioned in United States. In
1997, American Electric Power (AEP) has selected its Inez substation in
eastern Kentucky for the location of the world's first UPFC installation

FACTS Devices Technology Development

The technology behind thyristor-based FACTS controllers has been present for several
decades and is therefore considered mature. More utilities are likely to adopt this
technology in the future as more promising GTO-based FACTS technology is fast
emerging. Recent advances in silicon power-switching devices that significantly increase
their power ratings will contribute even further to the growth of FACTS technology. A
relatively new device called the Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) has been
developed with small gate consumption and small turn-on and turn-off times. The IGBT
has bi-directional current carrying capabilities. More effective use of pulse width
modulation techniques for control of output magnitude and harmonic distortion can be
achieved by increasing the switching frequencies to the low kHz range. However, IGBT
has until recently been restricted to voltages and currents in the medium power range.
Larger devices are now becoming available with typical ratings on the market
being 3.3 kV/1.2 kA (Eupec), 4.5 kV/2 kA (Fuji), and 5.2 kV/2 kA
(ABB) .The Integrated Gate Commutated thyristor (IGCT) combines the
excellent forward characteristics of the thyristor
and the switching performance of a bipolar transistor. In addition, IGCT
does not require snubber circuits and it has better turn-off
characteristics, lower conducting and switching loss, and simpler gate
control compared with GTO and IGBT .

39
 11. CONCLUSION

features of FACTS controllers and their potential to enhance system
stability was addressed. The location and feedback signals used for
design of FACTS-based damping controllers were discussed.
The likely future direction of FACTS technology, especially
inrestructured power systems, was discussed as well. A brief review of
FACTS applications to optimal power flow and deregulated electricity
market has been presented.
In addition models of facts controller has been briefly summarized
