An impedance compensation controller can compensate for the transmission line resistance if an SSSC is operated with an energy storage system [2]. An impedance compensation controller, when used with an SSSC and no energy storage system, is essentially a reactance compensation controller. The reactance compensation controller is used to operate the inverter in such a way that the injected altemating voltage in series with the transmission line is proportional to the line current with the emulated reactance being the constant of propoftionality. When an SSSC injects an alternating voltage leading the line current, it emulates an inductive reactance in series with the transmission line causing the power flow as well as the line current to decrease as the level of compensation increases and the SSSC is considered to be operating in an inductive mode. When an SSSC injects an altemating voltage lagging the line current, it emulates a capacitive reactance in series with the transmission line causing the power flow as well as the line current to increase as the level of compensation increases and the SSSC is considered to be operating in a capacitive mode.

FACTS devices consist of a solid-state voltage source inverter with several Gate Turn Off (GTO) thyristor switch-based valves and a DC link capacitor, a magnetic circuit, and a controller. The number of valves and the various configurations of the magnetic circuit depend on the desired quality of AC waveforms generated by the FACTS devices. The objective in this paper is to describe the fundamentals of an SSSC and to implement the operation of an SSSC using an Electromagnetic Transients Program (EMTP) simulation package. The inverter configuration described in this paper is one of many different possible configurations that can be used to build a voltage source inverter. The digital simulation includes the injection of a 24-pulse harmonic neutralized voltage source of variable magnitude in series with a 3-phase transmission line connecting a 3-phase voltage source at each end. The simulation results show the basic functions of an SSSC in terms of controlling the power flow in the transmission line.

where V, and Vr are the magnitudes and 6 , and 6 are the phase angles of the voltage sources vs and vr , respectively. For

simplicity, the voltage magnitudes are chosen such that V, = Vr =V and the difference between the phase angles is 6 = 6

An SSSC, limited by its voltage and current ratings, is capable of emulating a compensating reactance, Xq, (both inductive and capacitive) in series with the transmission line inductive reactance, X,. Therefore, the expressions for power flow given in equation (1) become

where Xef is the effective reactance of the transmission line between its two ends, including the emulated variable reactance inserted by the injected voltage source of the SSSC. The compensating reactance, Xq, is defined to be negative when the SSSC is operated in an inductive mode and positive when the SSSC is operated in a capacitive mode.

Fig. 2 shows an example of a simple power transmission system with an SSSC operated both in inductive and in capacitive modes and the related phasor diagrams. The line current decreases from fo% to 1-100%, when the inductive reactance compensation, -Xq/XL, increases from 0% to 100%. The line current increases from 70% to 133%, when the capacitive reactance compensation, XdXL, increases from 0% to 33%.

From equations ( 1 ) and (2), the expressions for the normalized power flow in the transmission line and the normalized effective reactance of the transmission line can be written as

P 4 1 P = Q q / Q = l I ( l - X 4 / X L ) (3)

Xe8 / xr, 3 1 - X q / x, (4)

The effects of the compensating reactance, Xq, on the normalized power flow in the transmission line and the normalized effective reactance of the transmission line are shown in Fig. 3. When the emulated reactance is inductive, the power flow, Pq and Qq, decrease and the effective reactance, X , increases as the reactance compensation, -XJXL, increases. When the emulated reactance is capacitive, the power flow, Pq and Qq, increase and the effective reactance, Xeg, decreases as the reactance compensation, Xq/XL, increases.

Fig. 4 shows a single line diagram of a power transmission system with an SSSC emulating a reactance in series with the transmission line and the related phasor diagrams. Consider a

transmission line with an XLIR ratio of 3.7 and no reactance compensation of any kind, i.e., Xq=O, delivering power from voltage source Vs to voltage source Fr through a transmission line. In order to increase the power flow, Pq and Qq, through the transmission line, an SSSC must emulate a capacitive reactance in series with the transmission line. The trajectory of line current from 70% with no reactance compensation to 750% with 50% capacitive reactance compensation, (XJ& = 0.5), is shown in Fig. 4. As the capacitive reactance compensation further increases, the line current and the power flow increase as indicated by the dashed line. The trajectory of line current from 70% with no reactance

compensation to 1-100% with 100% inductive reactance compensation, (Xq/XL = -1.O$, is also shown in Fig. 4. As the inductive reactance compensation further increases, the line current and the power flow decrease towards a minimum value. The implementation of the reactance emulation technique using an SSSC is described in the next section.

inverters are phase shifted by -7.5", +7.5", and +22.5", respectively in the positive direction, irrespective of their sequence. When the time shifted pole voltage sets from two 6-pulse inverters (AlBlCl and DlElFl), shown in Fig. 7, with a phase displacement of 30' between them are fed to two Y-windings and the output voltages (after properly phase shifted) are combined by connecting the corresponding phases in series, a 12-pulse harmonic neutralized waveform is obtained. Similarly, when the time shifted pole voltage sets from the remaining two 6-pulse inverters (A2B2C2 and D2E2F2), shown in Fig. 7, with a phase displacement of 30" between them are fed to two Y-windings and the output voltages (after properly phase shifted) are combined by connecting the corresponding phases in series, a second 12-pulse harmonic neutralized waveform is obtained whose harmonic components (n = 12k f 1 for k = 1, 2, 3, etc.) have the same magnitudes as the corresponding harmonic components of the first 12-pulse harmonic neutralized waveform. However, the harmonic components (n = 12k f 1 for k = 1, 3, 5, etc.) are in opposite phases while the harmonic components (n = 12k & 1 for k = 2, 4, 6, etc.) are in phases with the corresponding harmonic components of the first 12-pulse harmonic neutralized waveform. Therefore, if all the outputs from each 6-pulse inverter are combined, as shown in Fig. 7, by connecting the corresponding phases in series, a 24-pulse harmonic neutralized waveform is obtained. The resulting output voltage exhibits a fundamental component of amplitude (2/n)v, where vm is the DC link capacitor voltage and any odd harmonic component (n) whose normalized amplitude to the fundamental component is (lln) where n = 24k f 1 for k = 1,2,3, etc.

line currents, i, is first decomposed into its real or direct component, Id, and reactive or quadrature component, I,, and then the amplitude, I, and the relative angle, e,, of the line current with respect to the phase-lock-loop angle, 0, are calculated. The phase angle, a,, of the line current is calculated by adding the relative angle, O,, of the line current and the phase-lock-loop angle, 0. The calculated amplitude, I, of the l$e current multiplied by the compensating refctance demand, X, , is the insertion voltage amplitude demand, V, . The phase angle, O,, of this insertion voltage demand is either OJ+900 if the demanding compensating reactance is inductive or OJ-900 if the demanding compensating reactance is capacitive. The DC link capacitor voltage is dynamically regulated in relationship with the insertion voitage amplitude demand. The insertion voltage ampQtude demand, V, , and the DC link capacitor voltage demand, V, , are related by the inverter DC-to-fundamental AC amplitude g$n factor, (Kim = 2h). The DC link capacitor voltage demand, VDc , and the measured DC voltage, vm, are compared and the error is passed through an error amplifier which produces an angle, p. The phase angle, 02, of the inverter voltage is calculated by adding the angle, p, of the DC voltage regulator and the phase angle, O,, of th: insertion voltage demand. The compensating reactance demand, Xq , is either negative ifthe SSSC is emulating an inductive reactance or positive if it is emulating a capacitive reactance. In another application, the insertion voltage amplitude demand, Vq* may directly be specified and the SSSC will inject the desired voltage almost in quadrature with the line current.

IV. RESULTS Fig. 9 shows the digital simulation results when an SSSC

emulates a reactance in series with the transmission line. At the beginning of the operation, the mechanical switch, MS2, and the electronic switch, ES22, are open and the electronic switch, ES2, is closed. The inverter, VSI2, injects no voltage. The DC link capacitor voltage, vDc, is zero. At 50 ms, an inductive reactance compensation of 0.15 per unit is requested. The inverter output 24-pulse voltage, ea, of phase a leads the line current, i,, by almost 90". At 175 ms, the inductive reactance demand is increased to 0.3 per unit. As the inductive reactance demand increases, the line current, i,, and the power flow, P, and Q,, in the transmission line decrease. At 300 ms, a capacitive reactance compensation of 0.1 per unit is requested. The inverter voltage, ek, lags the line current, i,, by almost 90". At 450 ms, the capacitive reactance demand is increased to 0.15 per unit. As the capacitive reactance demand increases, the line current, i,, and the power flow, P, and Qq, in the transmission line increase. In reality, the SSSC would encounter power losses in the valves and in the magnetic circuit. Therefore, there will always be a small part of real current component, I , , flowing into the inverter and the inverter voltage will be ahnost 90" out of phase with the line current. The instantaneous DC link capacitor voltage is proportional to the amplitude of the inverter voltage.

Therefore, when an SSSC emulates a reactance in series with the transmission line, the power flow in the transmission line always decreases if the emulated reactance is inductive. Also, the

power flow always increases if the emulated reactance is capacitive.

V. USEFULNESS OF THE MODEL The EMTP SSSC model and accompanying descriptions are

powerful tools that provide the fundamentals of how a voltage source inverter is used in a FACTS application, such as a series compensator. The model is self-contained and includes all the necessary components - a voltage source inverter with a DC link capacitor, a magnetic circuit, and a realizable controller. The control system in the model has been implemented using a per unit system. Therefore, it is easy to integrate the model in a power system network of any voltage and current level. The model can be quite beneficial for utility system planners to use in an integrated fashion with their existing EMTP network model. The model can be used to highlight the SSSC's capability to inject an AC voltage in series with a transmission line in order to control the power flow of the line. One can study the faults in the line and also the effects of voltage and current unbalances on an SSSC. The model can also be used to showcase the performance of the SSSC technology over its conventional series compensator counterpart.

VI. CONCLUSION An SSSC has been modeled using an EMIT' simulation

package. The SSSC which is a voltage source inverter injects an almost sinusoidal voltage in series with the transmission line. This injected voltage is almost in quadrature with the line current,

thereby emulating an inductive reactance or a capacitive reactance in series with the transmission line. The power flow in the transmission line always decreases when the injected voltage by the SSSC emulates an inductive reactance in series with the transmission lime and the power flow in the transmission line always increases when the injected voltage by the SSSC emulates a capacitive reactance in series with the transmission line. The transition from one mode of operation to the other mode takes place in a sub-cycle time. The operation of the model is verified by connecting the model in series with a simple transmission line which can easily be replaced by the utility’s existing more complex power system network.
