Abstract: The extent and nature of control interaction between a power system stabiliser and a
static synchronous series compensator (SSSC) has been studied. Countermeasures are suggested to
reduce such interactions. The study system considered is the IEEE first benchmark model for
subsynchronous resonance. The SSSC is used as a fixed compensator and the DC-link voltage of
the SSSC is regulated by a simple PI controller. Stability of the system is determined from
eigenvalue analysis. Nonlinear simulations are performed to verify the results of eigenvalue
analysis.

transfer function has single time constant and a positive
gain of KA. The voltage limiter prevents the generator

the output signal from the PSS. The input to the PSS is the
generator slip S,. The PSS consists of a washout block and
a single lead-lag block. The objective of the washout block
is to act as a highpass filter that eliminates DC offset. The 2.2 Complete generator system model with
lead-lag block must have an appropriate phase-lead excitation system

lead circuit in place of a second-order lowpass torsional mode
filter. For low values of Tm, the numerator term (1 +sTFI)
is equivalent to introducing a composite signal with speed

TFIis taken in such a way that it introduces phase lead at
torsional frequencies without affecting the gain. In this case
exciter and swing modes are not affected. A conventional 0.5
lowpass torsional filter introduces phase lag at the exciter-
mode frequency without reducing the gain.
