ABSTRACT

In this study, a static synchronous series compensator (SSSC) is used to

investigate the effect of this device in controlling active and reactive powers as well as
damping power system oscillations in transient mode. The SSSC equipped with a source
of energy in the DC link can supply or absorb the reactive and active power to or from
the line. Simulations have been done in MATLAB/SIMULINK environment. Simulation
results obtained for selected bus-2 in two machine power system shows the efficacy of
this compensator as one of the FACTS devices member in controlling power flows,
achieving the desired value for active and reactive powers, and damping oscillations
appropriately.
