Sssc Based Time Delay Compensator Design for Interconnected Power System

Abstract

In this paper, researcher designed a delay-dependent wide-area damping controller based on Static Synchronous Series Compensator (SSSC) to enhance the power system stability by using remote signal obtained from Wide-Area Measurement System (WAMS). This remote signals introduces a time delay in the feedback signal, as a result, degrade the system damping performance and even causes instability of close loop power system. To find out various controller parameters, use of Genetic Algorithm (GA) is adopted. The performance of Multi-Machines system is evaluated with proposed controller including signal delay and Conventional PSS(CPSS) in MATLAB simulation. Various results show that SSSC based controller damp-out the inter-area oscillations under small disturbance more effectively as compare to LPSS
