Abstract

A linear optimal controller is designed to implement Variable Series Compensation (VSC) in transmission network of interconnected power systems. The proposed controller is used to dampen inter-area oscillations and enhance power system stability. The effectiveness of the linear optimal controller to properly control such a variable series reactance is demonstrated through mode shapes and digital simulation studies on a two-machine system. The digital simulation studies are conducted using a PSCAD/EMTDC software package. The mode shapes and simulation results show that the controller contributes significantly to the damping of inter-area oscillations and the power stability enhancement.
