SSR results obtained with a dynamic phasor model of SVC using modal analysis

This paper presents the application of an improved dynamic phasor model of Static Var Compensator (SVC) in small-signal subsynchronous resonance (SSR) studies. The model is suitable for high frequency analysis (above 5 Hz) and takes into account the influence of Phase Locked Loop (PLL) circuit dynamics. A supplementary controller is designed for damping torsional modes due to SSR. The controller is designed using modal control theory to damp out critical modes in a wide range of series compensation and loading conditions. The study is conducted on the system-2 of the IEEE Second Benchmark Model. Excitation systems and power system stabilizers (PSS) are properly represented and incorporated into the system. Thus, the dynamic interactions among the several power system controllers and the network are considered in the supplementary controller design. The program PSCAD/EMTDC is used for the validation of the results obtained in the time domain simulations.
