Abstract

This paper presents the design and application of a simple controller to damp interarea oscillations. The controller coordinates the control action of a thyristor controlled series capacitor (TCSC) and a thyristor controlled phase angle regulator (TCPAR) to allow for increased power transfers with improved system damping. The controller is based on the application of projective controls and coordinates readily available measurements with control signals applied to the FACTS devices
