TY - JOUR AU - Kumkratug, Prechanon PY - 2011 TI - Coordination of Series and Shunt Flexible AC Transmission System Devices Based Voltage Source Converter for Improving Power System Stability JF - American Journal of Applied Sciences VL - 8 IS - 5 DO - 10.3844/ajassp.2011.495.498 UR - https://thescipub.com/abstract/ajassp.2011.495.498 AB - Problem Statement: Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM) and Static Synchronous Series Compensator (SSSC) have been individually applied to improve stability of power system. Approach: This study presents the coordination of a STATCOM and SSSC for improving power system stability. The swing curves of the three phase faulted power system with various cases are tested and compared. Results: The swing curve of system without FACTS devices has undamped oscillation. The system with a STATCOM or a SSSC can increase damping of power system whereas the system with coordination of a STATCOM and a SSSC provides the best results of stability improvement Conclusion: From the simulation results, the stability of power system can be much better improved by coordination control of a STATCOM and a SSSC.
