Abstract

This paper proposes a novel robust adaptive modulation controller (RAMC) for thyristor controlled series capacitor (TCSC) in interconnected power systems to damp low frequency oscillation. The main idea of the controller is to drive the area centers of inertia (COI) to a stable equilibrium point and keep system synchronization. COI-coordinate-based model is derived first. Then RAMC for TCSC is derived using back-stepping method with COI dynamic signals from WAMS. The new controller performance is tested through a three-area power system and the simulation results show clearly that the new controller using COI signals has superior performance as compared with the conventional controller.
