Features of SVC Operation
• SVCs are meant to provide dynamic voltage support not steady state voltage support
• SVCs are floating in steady state (i.e. do not exchange reactive power with the system)
• Fixed Capacitor-TCR: High Steady state losses even when the SVC is floating
• Capacitors are made switchable: – Mechanically Switched Capacitors (MSC-TCR)
– Thyristor Switched Capacitor (TSC-TCR)

![Page 16: ELEMENTS OF FACTS CONTROLLERS · •TCSC in conjunction with series capacitors generate reactive power which increases with line loading. •Helps in regulating local network voltages](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022040810/5e52041f87ec336f5356920c/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
• SVC control system is optimized to provide fastest response for the weakest system state
• SVC response slows down as system becomes stronger,
– so controller gains may need to be varied adaptively.

• If d(D)/dt is positive, i.e. rotor is accelerating due to built up kinetic energy, the FACTS device is controlled to increase generator electrical power output
• If d(D)/dt is negative, i.e. rotor is decelerating due to loss of kinetic energy, the FACTS device is controlled to decrease generator electrical power output

Subsynchronous Resonance (SSR)
• Subsynchronous Resonance (SSR) phenomenon is usually associated with synchronous machine connected to series compensated transmission network.
• Definition of SSR by IEEE SSR Task Force:
– Subsynchronous resonance is an electric power system condition where the electric network exchanges energy with the turbine-generator at one or more of the natural frequencies of the combined system below the synchronous frequency of the system.

PREVENTION OF VOLTAGE INSTABILITY
• Voltage instability is caused due to the inadequacy of power system to supply the reactive power demand of certain loads such as induction motors.
• A drop in the load voltage leads to an increased demand for reactive power in such cases which, if not met by the power system, results in a further fall in bus voltage.
• This eventually leads to a progressive, yet rapid decline of voltage at that location which may have a cascading effect on neighbouring regions resulting in system voltage collapse.

UPFC
• Most versatile FACTS Controller
• All encompassing capabilities of voltage regulation, series compensation and phase shifting.
• Provides independent control of both the real and reactive power flows in a transmission line at an extremely rapid rate.

Implementation of UPFC using two back to back VSC
![Page 66: ELEMENTS OF FACTS CONTROLLERS · •TCSC in conjunction with series capacitors generate reactive power which increases with line loading. •Helps in regulating local network voltages](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022040810/5e52041f87ec336f5356920c/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
UPFC (cont’d)
• Comprises two voltage source converters (VSCs) coupled through a common dc terminal.
• One VSC - Converter 1 is connected in shunt with the line through a coupling transformer and the other VSC - Converter 2 is inserted in series with the transmission line through an interface transformer.
• DC voltage for both converters provided by a common capacitor bank.
• Series converter is controlled to inject a voltage Vpq in series with the line, which can be varied between 0 and Vpqmax.
• The phase angle of the phasor Vpq can be independently varied between 0o and 360o. In this process the series converter exchanges both real and reactive power with the transmission line.
• While the reactive power is internally generated/absorbed by the series converter, the real power generation/absorption is made feasible by the dc energy storage device i.e. the capacitor.

UPFC (cont’d)
• Shunt connected Converter 1 is mainly used to supply the real power demand of Converter 2, which it derives from the transmission line itself.
• In addition, the shunt converter functions like a STATCOM and
independently regulates the terminal voltage of the interconnected bus by generating/absorbing requisite amount of reactive power.
• Shunt converter maintains the voltage of the dc bus constant. • Net real power drawn from the ac system is equal to the losses of the two
converters and their coupling transformers.
• While the reactive power is internally generated/absorbed by the converters, no reactive power transfer can take place through the dc capacitor.

Coordination of FACTS
• Need for Coordination:
– Adverse interaction due to fast controls
– Usually controls are tuned optimally assuming the
remaining power system to be passive
– Above parameters not optimal when dynamics of
other controller are existent (PSS, HVDC, FACTS)
– Coordination: Simultaneous tuning of controllers to
effect an overall positive improvement in control
schemes
