Application of SSSC for compensation assessment of interconnected Power System

Present paper describes the application and study of SSSC (Static Series Synchronous Compensator), a flexible Alternating Current Transmission System (FACTS) Controller for providing dynamic compensation to an interconnected power system. A combination of conventional sources `diesel generating system´ and a non-conventional energy source `wind turbine generator system´ has been used to design the power system. A SSSC is inserted in the middle of this combination and thus acting as a shunt connected static compensator therefore not affecting active power significantly but improving reactive power profiles directly. In this paper time Simulation studies investigate the effect of SSSC on the reactive power profiles of different generators and it also consider for stabilizing voltages of different loads. Simulations are carried out in Sim Power System toolbox of MATLAB software.
