Static Synchronous series compensator without energy storage device can exchange only reactive power with the network and can operate in limited operating range in two quadrants only. When energy storage device is connected at the DC bus of SSSC (SSSC – ES), it can also exchange real power with the network. Operating range of SSSC will be much broader and it covers all the four quadrants. However, emulated reactance and resistance by SSSC – ES is likely to affect the performance of a distance protection system. This paper presents a detailed model of an SMIB system with SSSC – ES. Injected voltage by SSSC – ES in all the four quadrants of operation is presented. Impact of operation of SSSC _ ES in different quadrants and various control strategies for SSSC – ES on impedance emulated by SSSC – ES during steady state condition and transient system disturbance is discussed.

topology implemented as a voltage controller in isolated power systems. In
isolated power systems generally self-excited induction generators (SEIG)
are used mainly for their ruggedness and economic reasons. Mostly for

The system is simulated and the capability of the isolated generating system
along with the reduced switch based voltage controller is presented here
where the generator feeds linear and non-linear loads are investigated.

Open-Delta VSC Based Voltage Controller in Isolated Power SystemsIJPEDS-IAES
This paper proposes a reduced switch voltage source converter (VSC)
topology implemented as a voltage controller in isolated power systems. In
isolated power systems generally self-excited induction generators (SEIG)
are used mainly for their ruggedness and economic reasons. Mostly for
constant power applications such as pico hydro uncontrolled turbine driven
self excited induction generators feeding three-phase loads are employed.
The proposed reduced switch voltage controller is used to regulate and
control the voltage at the generator terminals as it is subjected to voltage
drops, dips or flickers when the isolated power system is subjected to various
critical loads. In this paper the controller is realized using a three-leg fourswitch
insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) based current controlled
voltage-source converter (CC-VSC) and a self-supporting dc bus containing
two split capacitors, thus reducing the IGBT count and hence cost. This
reduced switch topology forms an Open-Delta type converter. The proposed
generating system along with the controller is modeled and simulated in
MATLAB along with Simulink and power system blockset (PSB) toolboxes.
The system is simulated and the capability of the isolated generating system
along with the reduced switch based voltage controller is presented here
where the generator feeds linear and non-linear loads are investigated.

In recent years, studies have been investigated the effectiveness of UPFC and TCSC in increasing power transfer capability. However, the effectiveness of these FACTS devices in increasing power transfer capability when the load is non-linear has not been established in a comparative study yet. This paper will explore the steady-state performance of the UPFC and TCSC as impedance compensation models. The effectiveness of both FACTS devices are investigated when they are installed in multi-machine systems with different non-linear load models. Simulation results demonstrate that, upon installing UPFC, more active and reactive powers are received at the sending end bus for different types of non-linear load models. In addition, both active and reactive powers are more sensitive in changing the modulation index of the converters. Furthermore, both the active and reactive powers are less sensitive to the non-linearity of the load model type. However, active and reactive powers in case of installing TCSC are only sensitive in changing the firing angle (α) when it is between 90º to 110º. Therefore, results from this study clearly encourage the effectiveness of UPFC in comparison to TSCS in terms of increasing power transfer capability applied to non-linear load models.

Implementing the optimized TCPST-TCSC combination resulted in a 46.47% reduction in power losses, outperforming the use of capacitor banks alone which achieved a 42.03% reduction. The TCPST-TCSC solution found with PSO also performed

The transmission of electric power has to take place in the most efficient way in addition to providing flexibility in the process. Flexible A.C. Transmission System (FACTS) promotes the use of static controllers to enhance the controllability and increase the power transfer capability. Providing reactive shunt compensation with shunt-connected capacitors and reactors is a well-established technique to get a better voltage profile in a power system. Shunt Capacitors are inexpensive but lack dynamic capabilities, thus some form of dynamically controlled reactive power compensation becomes essential. In this paper, three phase Distribution Static Var Compensator (D-SVC) has been developed and studied under different conditions. Open loop mode and closed loop mode of operation of D-SVC is simulated and studied. The work presented here is very much useful for distribution system, for effective reactive power management and better Voltage control.

To maintain voltage stability of a power system STATCOM is better solution which can provide the required amount of reactive power under various disturbances. In previous work, STATCOM with various energy storage elements was discussed for voltage and power system stability. Apart from these previous works, this work proposes a new structure of hybrid energy storage system (HESS) for voltage stability by using battery and super capacitor. A new model of STATCOM with hybrid energy storage system is designed by using two bidirectional DC-DC converters and results are analyzed for conventional STATCOM and STATCOM with hybrid energy storage system. Results are also analyzed for STATCOM system with out any energy storage system, STATCOM with battery, STATCOM with super capacitor and STATCOM with HESS under sudden load changes by using MATLAB/Simulink.
This document summarizes a study on using STATCOM and UPFC devices to control power flow in a distribution system. It presents the mathematical models of STATCOM and UPFC, including their control design procedures. Simulation results show that STATCOM effectively regulates local reactive power load and UPFC controls real power flow by varying the phase angle of injected voltage. The study demonstrates how FACTS devices like STATCOM and UPFC can improve power flow control in distribution systems.

This document summarizes a research paper that presents a new method for optimally locating Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) devices like Static Var Compensators (SVCs) and Thyristor Controlled Series Capacitors (TCSCs) in a power system network. The method uses sensitivity analysis to determine the optimal location and sizing of FACTS devices. It calculates voltage-reactive power sensitivity indices for each bus and line to determine which buses and lines are most sensitive to changes in reactive power. FACTS devices are then optimally located at the bus or line with the highest positive or negative sensitivity index, depending on whether a SVC or TCSC is being placed. The method is tested on the IEEE

Design And Simulation Of Distributed Statcom Controller For Power Factor Impr...IJERA Editor
The STATCOM is a static reactive power compensator. It is connected to the grid through ac side reactors and
has a capacitor on the DC-link side. This DC-link capacitor is maintained at a given voltage under closed-loop
control while a set amount of reactive current is fed according to load requirements. The operating frequency of
the VSC is also controlled in a PLL (phase locked loop) manner. Hence, it is essential to have a closed-loop
feedback control operation of the STATCOM. The state space model of the STATCOM is non-linear. The nonlinear
model of the STATCOM is linearized. A linear model of the STACOM is proposed. In this model, the
grid voltage and the fundamental component of the STATCOM VSC terminal voltage are assumed to be inphase
and the modulation index is kept within unity. PI-controllers for the active and reactive currents as well as
the DC-link voltage of the STATCOM have been designed. The model, with PI controllers has been simulated
in MATLAB/SIMULINK environment with variation of the pre-charge voltage on the DC-link capacitor with
linear loads (inductive). Improvement of the power factor of the grid current is achieved for linear loads.

the continuous demand in electric power system network has caused the system to be heavily loaded
leading to voltage instability. This paper describe the active approach to series line compensation, in which static
voltage sourced converter, is used to provide controllable series compensation. This compensator is called as Static
synchronous series compensator (SSSC). It injects the compensating voltage in phase quadrature with line current, it
can emulate as inductive or capacitive reactance so as to influence the power flow in the line. With DC power supply it
can also compensate the voltage drop across the resistive component of the line impedance. In addition, the series
reactive compensation can greatly increase the power oscillation damping.

It begins by introducing D-STATCOM technology and its role in providing reactive power support and voltage regulation on distribution feeders. It then describes the proposed control scheme, which is based on instantaneous power theory and aims to make the source current purely sinusoidal with unity power factor. Simulation results are presented comparing the proposed control scheme to an existing one, showing the new scheme achieves unity power factor compensation after a load is switched on.

This document presents a study of a multi-machine power system with and without a Static Synchronous Series Compensator (SSSC). The SSSC is modeled and its effect on the system is analyzed under different operating conditions. In normal load conditions, power flow increased by 8% with the SSSC. Under an 8% increased load, voltages were improved and disturbances decreased with the SSSC. During a fault, the SSSC helped settle the system faster and improved power flow recovery after the fault was cleared. The study demonstrates the benefits of the SSSC for improving power flow, damping oscillations, and enhancing transient stability.
Impact of hybrid FACTS devices on the stability of the Kenyan power system IJECEIAES
Flexible alternating current transmission system (FACTS) devices are deployed for improving power system’s stability either singly or as a combination. This research investigates hybrid FACTS devices and studies their impact on voltage, small-signal and transient stability simultaneously under various system disturbances. The simulations were done using five FACTS devices-static var compensator (SVC), static synchronous compensator (STATCOM), static synchronous series compensators (SSSC), thyristor controlled series compensator (TCSC) and unified power flow controller (UPFC) in MATLAB’s power system analysis toolbox (PSAT). These five devices were grouped into ten pairs and tested on Kenya’s transmission network under specific contingencies: the loss of a major generating machine and/or transmission line. The UPFC-STATCOM pair performed the best in all the three aspects under study. The settling times were 3 seconds and 3.05 seconds respectively for voltage and rotor angle improvement on the loss of a major generator at normal operation. The same pair gave settling times of 2.11 seconds and 3.12 seconds for voltage and rotor angle stability improvement respectively on the loss of a major transmission line at 140% system loading. From the study, two novel techniques were developed: A performance-based ranking system and classification for FACTS devices.

Car accident rates have increased in recent years, resulting in losses in human lives, properties, and other financial costs. An embedded machine learning-based system is developed to address this critical issue. The system can monitor road conditions, detect driving patterns, and identify aggressive driving behaviors. The system is based on neural networks trained on a comprehensive dataset of driving events, driving styles, and road conditions. The system effectively detects potential risks and helps mitigate the frequency and impact of accidents. The primary goal is to ensure the safety of drivers and vehicles. Collecting data involved gathering information on three key road events: normal street and normal drive, speed bumps, circular yellow speed bumps, and three aggressive driving actions: sudden start, sudden stop, and sudden entry. The gathered data is processed and analyzed using a machine learning system designed for limited power and memory devices. The developed system resulted in 91.9% accuracy, 93.6% precision, and 92% recall. The achieved inference time on an Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense with a 32-bit CPU running at 64 MHz is 34 ms and requires 2.6 kB peak RAM and 139.9 kB program flash memory, making it suitable for resource-constrained embedded systems.

This paper describes a speed control device for generating electrical energy on an electricity network based on the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) used for wind power conversion systems. At first, a double-fed induction generator model was constructed. A control law is formulated to govern the flow of energy between the stator of a DFIG and the energy network using three types of controllers: proportional integral (PI), sliding mode controller (SMC) and second order sliding mode controller (SOSMC). Their different results in terms of power reference tracking, reaction to unexpected speed fluctuations, sensitivity to perturbations, and resilience against machine parameter alterations are compared. MATLAB/Simulink was used to conduct the simulations for the preceding study. Multiple simulations have shown very satisfying results, and the investigations demonstrate the efficacy and power-enhancing capabilities of the suggested control system.

Wide application of proportional-integral-differential (PID)-regulator in industry requires constant improvement of methods of its parameters adjustment. The paper deals with the issues of optimization of PID-regulator parameters with the use of neural network technology methods. A methodology for choosing the architecture (structure) of neural network optimizer is proposed, which consists in determining the number of layers, the number of neurons in each layer, as well as the form and type of activation function. Algorithms of neural network training based on the application of the method of minimizing the mismatch between the regulated value and the target value are developed. The method of back propagation of gradients is proposed to select the optimal training rate of neurons of the neural network. The neural network optimizer, which is a superstructure of the linear PID controller, allows increasing the regulation accuracy from 0.23 to 0.09, thus reducing the power consumption from 65% to 53%. The results of the conducted experiments allow us to conclude that the created neural superstructure may well become a prototype of an automatic voltage regulator (AVR)-type industrial controller for tuning the parameters of the PID controller.

A review on features and methods of potential fishing zoneIJECEIAES
This review focuses on the importance of identifying potential fishing zones in seawater for sustainable fishing practices. It explores features like sea surface temperature (SST) and sea surface height (SSH), along with classification methods such as classifiers. The features like SST, SSH, and different classifiers used to classify the data, have been figured out in this review study. This study underscores the importance of examining potential fishing zones using advanced analytical techniques. It thoroughly explores the methodologies employed by researchers, covering both past and current approaches. The examination centers on data characteristics and the application of classification algorithms for classification of potential fishing zones. Furthermore, the prediction of potential fishing zones relies significantly on the effectiveness of classification algorithms.

As demand for smaller, quicker, and more powerful devices rises, Moore's law is strictly followed. The industry has worked hard to make little devices that boost productivity. The goal is to optimize device density. Scientists are reducing connection delays to improve circuit performance. This helped them understand three-dimensional integrated circuit (3D IC) concepts, which stack active devices and create vertical connections to diminish latency and lower interconnects. Electrical involvement is a big worry with 3D integrates circuits. Researchers have developed and tested through silicon via (TSV) and substrates to decrease electrical wave involvement. This study illustrates a novel noise coupling reduction method using several electrical involvement models. A 22% drop in electrical involvement from wave-carrying to victim TSVs introduces this new paradigm and improves system performance even at higher THz frequencies.

Fossil fuel consumption increased quickly, contributing to climate change
that is evident in unusual flooding and draughts, and global warming. Over
the past ten years, women's involvement in society has grown dramatically,
and they succeeded in playing a noticeable role in reducing climate change.
A bibliometric analysis of data from the last ten years has been carried out to
examine the role of women in addressing the climate change. The analysis's
findings discussed the relevant to the sustainable development goals (SDGs),
particularly SDG 7 and SDG 13. The results considered contributions made
by women in the various sectors while taking geographic dispersion into
account. The bibliometric analysis delves into topics including women's
leadership in environmental groups, their involvement in policymaking, their
contributions to sustainable development projects, and the influence of
gender diversity on attempts to mitigate climate change. This study's results
highlight how women have influenced policies and actions related to climate
change, point out areas of research deficiency and recommendations on how
to increase role of the women in addressing the climate change and
achieving sustainability. To achieve more successful results, this initiative
aims to highlight the significance of gender equality and encourage
inclusivity in climate change decision-making processes.
Voltage and frequency control of microgrid in presence of micro-turbine inter...IJECEIAES
The active and reactive load changes have a significant impact on voltage
and frequency. In this paper, in order to stabilize the microgrid (MG) against
load variations in islanding mode, the active and reactive power of all
distributed generators (DGs), including energy storage (battery), diesel
generator, and micro-turbine, are controlled. The micro-turbine generator is
connected to MG through a three-phase to three-phase matrix converter, and
the droop control method is applied for controlling the voltage and
frequency of MG. In addition, a method is introduced for voltage and
frequency control of micro-turbines in the transition state from gridconnected mode to islanding mode. A novel switching strategy of the matrix
converter is used for converting the high-frequency output voltage of the
micro-turbine to the grid-side frequency of the utility system. Moreover,
using the switching strategy, the low-order harmonics in the output current
and voltage are not produced, and consequently, the size of the output filter
would be reduced. In fact, the suggested control strategy is load-independent
and has no frequency conversion restrictions. The proposed approach for
voltage and frequency regulation demonstrates exceptional performance and
favorable response across various load alteration scenarios. The suggested
strategy is examined in several scenarios in the MG test systems, and the
simulation results are addressed.

Precisely characterizing Li-ion batteries is essential for optimizing their
performance, enhancing safety, and prolonging their lifespan across various
applications, such as electric vehicles and renewable energy systems. This
article introduces an innovative nonlinear methodology for system
identification of a Li-ion battery, employing a nonlinear autoregressive with
exogenous inputs (NARX) model. The proposed approach integrates the
benefits of nonlinear modeling with the adaptability of the NARX structure,
facilitating a more comprehensive representation of the intricate

from a Li-ion battery operating under diverse scenarios are employed to
validate the effectiveness of the proposed methodology. The identified
NARX model exhibits superior accuracy in predicting the battery's behavior

importance of accounting for nonlinearities in battery modeling, providing
insights into the intricate relationships between state-of-charge, voltage, and
current under dynamic conditions.
Smart grid deployment: from a bibliometric analysis to a surveyIJECEIAES
Smart grids are one of the last decades' innovations in electrical energy.
They bring relevant advantages compared to the traditional grid and
significant interest from the research community. Assessing the field's
evolution is essential to propose guidelines for facing new and future smart
grid challenges. In addition, knowing the main technologies involved in the
deployment of smart grids (SGs) is important to highlight possible
shortcomings that can be mitigated by developing new tools. This paper
contributes to the research trends mentioned above by focusing on two
objectives. First, a bibliometric analysis is presented to give an overview of
the current research level about smart grid deployment. Second, a survey of
the main technological approaches used for smart grid implementation and
their contributions are highlighted. To that effect, we searched the Web of
Science (WoS), and the Scopus databases. We obtained 5,663 documents
from WoS and 7,215 from Scopus on smart grid implementation or
deployment. With the extraction limitation in the Scopus database, 5,872 of
the 7,215 documents were extracted using a multi-step process. These two
datasets have been analyzed using a bibliometric tool called bibliometrix.
The main outputs are presented with some recommendations for future
research.
Use of analytical hierarchy process for selecting and prioritizing islanding ...IJECEIAES
One of the problems that are associated to power systems is islanding
condition, which must be rapidly and properly detected to prevent any
negative consequences on the system's protection, stability, and security.
This paper offers a thorough overview of several islanding detection
strategies, which are divided into two categories: classic approaches,
including local and remote approaches, and modern techniques, including
techniques based on signal processing and computational intelligence.
Additionally, each approach is compared and assessed based on several
factors, including implementation costs, non-detected zones, declining
power quality, and response times using the analytical hierarchy process
(AHP). The multi-criteria decision-making analysis shows that the overall
weight of passive methods (24.7%), active methods (7.8%), hybrid methods
(5.6%), remote methods (14.5%), signal processing-based methods (26.6%),

Enhancing of single-stage grid-connected photovoltaic system using fuzzy logi...IJECEIAES
The power generated by photovoltaic (PV) systems is influenced by
environmental factors. This variability hampers the control and utilization of
solar cells' peak output. In this study, a single-stage grid-connected PV
system is designed to enhance power quality. Our approach employs fuzzy
logic in the direct power control (DPC) of a three-phase voltage source
inverter (VSI), enabling seamless integration of the PV connected to the
grid. Additionally, a fuzzy logic-based maximum power point tracking
(MPPT) controller is adopted, which outperforms traditional methods like
incremental conductance (INC) in enhancing solar cell efficiency and
minimizing the response time. Moreover, the inverter's real-time active and
reactive power is directly managed to achieve a unity power factor (UPF).
The system's performance is assessed through MATLAB/Simulink
implementation, showing marked improvement over conventional methods,
particularly in steady-state and varying weather conditions. For solar
irradiances of 500 and 1,000 W/m2
, the results show that the proposed
method reduces the total harmonic distortion (THD) of the injected current
to the grid by approximately 46% and 38% compared to conventional
methods, respectively. Furthermore, we compare the simulation results with
IEEE standards to evaluate the system's grid compatibility.

Photovoltaic systems have emerged as a promising energy resource that
caters to the future needs of society, owing to their renewable, inexhaustible,
and cost-free nature. The power output of these systems relies on solar cell
radiation and temperature. In order to mitigate the dependence on
atmospheric conditions and enhance power tracking, a conventional
approach has been improved by integrating various methods. To optimize
the generation of electricity from solar systems, the maximum power point
tracking (MPPT) technique is employed. To overcome limitations such as
steady-state voltage oscillations and improve transient response, two
traditional MPPT methods, namely fuzzy logic controller (FLC) and perturb
and observe (P&O), have been modified. This research paper aims to
simulate and validate the step size of the proposed modified P&O and FLC
techniques within the MPPT algorithm using MATLAB/Simulink for
efficient power tracking in photovoltaic systems.
Adaptive synchronous sliding control for a robot manipulator based on neural ...IJECEIAES
Robot manipulators have become important equipment in production lines, medical fields, and transportation. Improving the quality of trajectory tracking for
robot hands is always an attractive topic in the research community. This is a
challenging problem because robot manipulators are complex nonlinear systems
and are often subject to fluctuations in loads and external disturbances. This
article proposes an adaptive synchronous sliding control scheme to improve trajectory tracking performance for a robot manipulator. The proposed controller
ensures that the positions of the joints track the desired trajectory, synchronize
the errors, and significantly reduces chattering. First, the synchronous tracking
errors and synchronous sliding surfaces are presented. Second, the synchronous
tracking error dynamics are determined. Third, a robust adaptive control law is
designed,the unknown components of the model are estimated online by the neural network, and the parameters of the switching elements are selected by fuzzy
logic. The built algorithm ensures that the tracking and approximation errors
are ultimately uniformly bounded (UUB). Finally, the effectiveness of the constructed algorithm is demonstrated through simulation and experimental results.
Simulation and experimental results show that the proposed controller is effective with small synchronous tracking errors, and the chattering phenomenon is
significantly reduced.

A remote laboratory utilizing field-programmable gate array (FPGA) technologies enhances students’ learning experience anywhere and anytime in embedded system design. Existing remote laboratories prioritize hardware access and visual feedback for observing board behavior after programming, neglecting comprehensive debugging tools to resolve errors that require internal signal acquisition. This paper proposes a novel remote embeddedsystem design approach targeting FPGA technologies that are fully interactive via a web-based platform. Our solution provides FPGA board access and debugging capabilities beyond the visual feedback provided by existing remote laboratories. We implemented a lab module that allows users to seamlessly incorporate into their FPGA design. The module minimizes hardware resource utilization while enabling the acquisition of a large number of data samples from the signal during the experiments by adaptively compressing the signal prior to data transmission. The results demonstrate an average compression ratio of 2.90 across three benchmark signals, indicating efficient signal acquisition and effective debugging and analysis. This method allows users to acquire more data samples than conventional methods. The proposed lab allows students to remotely test and debug their designs, bridging the gap between theory and practice in embedded system design.

Efficiently identifying and resolving code smells enhances software project quality. This paper presents a novel solution, utilizing automated machine learning (AutoML) techniques, to detect code smells and apply move method refactoring. By evaluating code metrics before and after refactoring, we assessed its impact on coupling, complexity, and cohesion. Key contributions of this research include a unique dataset for code smell classification and the development of models using AutoGluon for optimal performance. Furthermore, the study identifies the top 20 influential features in classifying feature envy, a well-known code smell, stemming from excessive reliance on external classes. We also explored how move method refactoring addresses feature envy, revealing reduced coupling and complexity, and improved cohesion, ultimately enhancing code quality. In summary, this research offers an empirical, data-driven approach, integrating AutoML and move method refactoring to optimize software project quality. Insights gained shed light on the benefits of refactoring on code quality and the significance of specific features in detecting feature envy. Future research can expand to explore additional refactoring techniques and a broader range of code metrics, advancing software engineering practices and standards.

Rapidly and remotely monitoring and receiving the solar cell systems status parameters, solar irradiance, temperature, and humidity, are critical issues in enhancement their efficiency. Hence, in the present article an improved smart prototype of internet of things (IoT) technique based on embedded system through NodeMCU ESP8266 (ESP-12E) was carried out experimentally. Three different regions at Egypt; Luxor, Cairo, and El-Beheira cities were chosen to study their solar irradiance profile, temperature, and humidity by the proposed IoT system. The monitoring data of solar irradiance, temperature, and humidity were live visualized directly by Ubidots through hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) protocol. The measured solar power radiation in Luxor, Cairo, and El-Beheira ranged between 216-1000, 245-958, and 187-692 W/m 2 respectively during the solar day. The accuracy and rapidity of obtaining monitoring results using the proposed IoT system made it a strong candidate for application in monitoring solar cell systems. On the other hand, the obtained solar power radiation results of the three considered regions strongly candidate Luxor and Cairo as suitable places to build up a solar cells system station rather than El-Beheira.
An efficient security framework for intrusion detection and prevention in int...IJECEIAES
Over the past few years, the internet of things (IoT) has advanced to connect billions of smart devices to improve quality of life. However, anomalies or malicious intrusions pose several security loopholes, leading to performance degradation and threat to data security in IoT operations. Thereby, IoT security systems must keep an eye on and restrict unwanted events from occurring in the IoT network. Recently, various technical solutions based on machine learning (ML) models have been derived towards identifying and restricting unwanted events in IoT. However, most ML-based approaches are prone to miss-classification due to inappropriate feature selection. Additionally, most ML approaches applied to intrusion detection and prevention consider supervised learning, which requires a large amount of labeled data to be trained. Consequently, such complex datasets are impossible to source in a large network like IoT. To address this problem, this proposed study introduces an efficient learning mechanism to strengthen the IoT security aspects. The proposed algorithm incorporates supervised and unsupervised approaches to improve the learning models for intrusion detection and mitigation. Compared with the related works, the experimental outcome shows that the model performs well in a benchmark dataset. It accomplishes an improved detection accuracy of approximately 99.21%.

STATCOM – ES is discussed in [15], [16]. Reactance and resistance emulated by SSSC is likely to affect the
operation of distance relay and system stability. Hence, a detailed model and analysis of a system with
SSSC – ES is essential to determine the emulated impedance under different operating conditions & various
control strategies for SSSC – ES and study its impact on the system performance. This paper aims to model
and study the operation of SSSC in all four quadrants and determine and analyze the emulated impedance by
SSSC – ES in different quadrants of operation. The paper will be organized as follows. Detailed system
model and governing equations can be found in Section 2. Methodology followed is covered in Section 3.

2.2. Control strategy
In case of SSSC- ES, type 1 control is generally used in order to control both the magnitude and
phase angle of the converter output voltage. Real and reactive voltages, VP(ord) and VR(ord) are used to calculate
phase angle ‘γ’ and dead angle ‘β’ using Equations (7) and (8). Various control strategies proposed are:
a. Real power controller, emulated resistance controller and constant real voltage control.
b. Emulated reactance controller and constant reactive voltage control.
Figure 2 explains the control strategy used.
Eigen value analysis is done to analyze the stability of the system under different operating conditions of
SSSC- ES. PI controller values are selected based on root locus design and transient analysis [13].

3. METHODOLOGY
System shown in Figure 1 is modeled in Matlab/Simulink. Newton Raphson iterative method is used
to obtain the initial conditions. Generator output power (Pg) is taken as 0.9pu. DC bus voltage of SSSC - ES
is assumed to be maintained constant by the energy storage device at 0.7 pu.
3.1. Operating range of SSSC - ES
A 150 MVA SSSC – ES is used in the present work. With a base MVA of 892.4MVA and with a
line current of 1pu, SSSC can inject a voltage (magnitude) of 0.16809pu. Considering a reactance
compensation of 45% from passive series capacitor and a net reactance compensation range of 30% to 60%,
SSSC reactance can be varied between - 0.15pu (capacitive) and 0.15pu (inductive). Real and reactive values
of injected voltages were determined through simulation for various values of real power exchange by
SSSC – ES and from the values obtained, real power exchange by SSSC- ES is limited between - 0.08pu and
0.08pu when Xsssc value is ± 0.15pu. Whereas with SSSC injecting real voltage alone (Xsssc = 0),
real power exchange can be up to 0.15pu.
3.2. Computation of impedance
Equations 16 to 18 are used to determine the impedance values analytically and are validated through
simulation.

4. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
4.1. Injected voltage
With out energy storage device at the DC bus, injected voltage by SSSC with respect to line current
will be close to ± 90°. When an energy storage device is connected at the DC bus, angle of injected voltage
can be anay angle between 0°and 360° or -180° and +180°.Voltage injected by SSSC – ES in different
quadrants of operation with respect to line current obtained through simulation is discussed in this section.
4.1.1. Reactive voltage injection
When SSSC – ES injects only reactive voltage (Reactive power exchange), injected voltage should
be in quadrature with the line current (lagging by 90° in case of capacitive mode and leading by 90° in case
of inductive mode. Simulation results obtained (Figure 3 and Figure 4) clearly validate this.
Figure 3. Capacitive reactance compensation,
γ = - 90°
Figure 4. Inductive reactance compensation,
γ = 90°
4.1.2. Real voltage injection
When SSSC – ES exchanges real power alone (injects real voltage), injected voltage should be in
phase with current while absorbing power and anti-phase while supplying power. Figure 5 and Figure 6 show
the injected voltage under these operating conditions.

4.1.3. Simultaneous real and reactive voltage injection
When SSSC – ES injects both real and reactive power, angle of SSSC injected voltage depends on
the operating condition i.e. quadrant of operation. As shown in Figure 7, operation will be in 4th
quadrant
when SSSC is in capacitive mode and is drawing real power (VP is positive and VR is negative).
Similarly with SSSC in capacitive mode and is supplying real power, operation will be in 3rd
quadrant (VP is
negative and VR is negative) as evident from Figure 8.
Figure 7. Operation in fourth quadrant,
Gamma = - 56.72°
Figure 8. Operation in third quadrant,
Gamma = - 119.8°
When SSSC is in inductive mode, operation will be in first ( SSSC absorbing power) or second ( SSSC
supplying power) quadrant. The result obtained through simulation are shown in Figure 9 and Figure 10.
Figure 9. Operation in first quadrant,
Gamma = 58.98°
Figure 10. Operation in second quadrant,
Gamma = 116.2°
4.2. Emulated impedance by SSSC – ES
Distance protection is the preferred protection for long transmission lines. Operation of distance
relay is based on the apparent impedance measured by the relay. Impedance emulated by SSSC – ES will
change the measured impedance by the relay and hence the relay may mal operate. When SSSC – ES is
injecting reactive voltage alone, it will emulate and change reactance component of impedance.

Int J Elec & Comp Eng, Vol. 9, No. 2, April 2019 : 840 - 850

Similarly while injecting real voltage alone, it should emulate and change resistance component of impedance.
Obviously, when SSSC – ES exchanges both real and reactive power, it will emulate and change both real and
imaginary part of impedance. Table 1 gives the results obtained through simulation. From table 1 it is clear
that impedance emulated by SSSC – ES depends on the Operating condition i.e. quadrant of operation. It can
be noted that in capacitive mode of operation, SSSC emulates negative reactance and hence net reactance
reduces, while net reactance increases in case of inductive mode due to positive reactance emulation.
Similarly, net resistance increases due to positive resistance emulation when SSSC absorbs power and
decreases when SSSC supplies power due to negative resistance emulation. Impedance values are determined
analytically using Equations 16 to 18. System data for impedance computation are ZL = 0.04 + j1; XSYS =
j0.06, XC = - j0.45, Xt = j0.14; all values in pu. For a given operating condition, Vp, VR and line current
values are obtained through simulation.
From Table 1, it can also be noted that impedance values determined through simulation matches
with the corresponding values obtained analytically.

Values in Table 1 were obtained through simulation with constant P control for real voltage and
constant reactive voltage control. How ever simulation results with different combinations of control strategy
for real and reactive voltage of SSSC – ES showed that for a given operating condition, without any system
disturbance, impedance emulated by SSSC – ES is independent of control strategy used. Table 2 shows the
simulation result for one of the operating condition ( Xsssc = - 0.15, Pref = 0.08, operation in
fourth quadrant).

4.3. Effect of control strategy on emulated impedance, during system disturbance
During any transient system disturbance line current is expected to change. Hence emulated
impedance by SSSC – ES during disturbance is expected to be different with various control strategies.
In order to analyze the effect of control strategy used for SSSC, during transient condition, a step change in
mechanical torque input to generator (Tm) is considered. Tm is changed from 0.9pu to 1.1pu at 1.5 second
for a duration of 0.1 sec. Due to increase in mechanical torque input, there will be an increase in line current
value during disturbance. Resistance, reactance and impedance emulated by SSSC – ES during such a
disturbance, with various control strategies proposed and different operating conditions are determined
through simulation.
4.3.1. Emulated reactance
Operation of a reactance relay depends on the apparent reactance measured by the relay.
Reactance emulated by SSSC depends mainly on the reactive voltage injected by SSSC and line current. For
the following operating conditions of SSSC – ES reactance emulated by SSSC is obtained through
simulation, employing the proposed control strategies.
Case 1: Operation in fourth quadrant; capacitive mode, no real power.
Case 2: Operation in first quadrant; Inductive mode, no real power

Plots of reactance emulated by SSSC – ES under these operating conditions is shown in Figure 11
and 12 respectively. It can be noted from Figure 11 that SSSC – ES emulates a negative reactance in
capacitive mode of operation and it emulates a positive reactance in inductive mode of operation as shown in
Figure12.
It is also very clear from Figure 11 and 12 that reactance emulated by SSSC remains almost
constant, before, during and after the disturbance with constant Xsssc control. This however would require an
increase in injected voltage by SSSC during disturbance (due to increased current). In case of constant
reactive voltage control, Figure 11 and 12 clearly show that the emulated reactance by SSSC – ES is reduced
during disturbance due to increase in current magnitude.

Resistance emulated by SSSC depends on the real voltage injected by SSSC and line current.
For the following operating conditions, resistance emulated by SSSC was computed employing the proposed
control strategies.

from Figure 13 that since SSSC – ES is absorbing power it emulates positive resistance. Also resistance
emulated by SSSC remains almost constant, before, during and after the disturbance with constant Rsssc
control. This however calls for increase in injected voltage by SSSC during disturbance (Since current is
increased during disturbance). It is further observed that positive resistance emulated by SSSC – ES is
decreased during disturbance with constant P control and constant Vp, due to increase in current. Variation is
more in case of constant P control since Vp will decrease with increase in current, to maintain ‘P’ constant.
It is very clear from Figure 14 that since SSSC – ES is supplying power it emulates negative
resistance. It is further observed that emulated resistance remains constant during and after disturbance with
constant RSSSC control whereas with constant real voltage and constant real power control, magnitude of the
emulated resistance is decreased during disturbance due to increase in current.
4.3.3. Emulated impedance
Variation in emulated resistance and reactance values during system disturbance with various
control strategies and different operating conditions of SSSC – ES were discussed separately in the previous
section. Operation of an impedance relay or a mho relay is based on the magnitude of the apparent
impedance measured by the relay. In order to analyze the impact of control strategy employed on emulated
impedance, following operating conditions were considered.
Case 5: Capacitive mode absorbing power (Xsssc = - 0.15, Pref = 0.08)
i. Constant Vp, Vr control
ii. Constant Rsssc, Xsssc control.
Case 6: Inductive mode absorbing power (Xsssc = 0.15, Pref = 0.08)
i. Constant Vp, Vr control
ii. Constant Rsssc, Xsssc control.
Plot of emulated impedance under these operating conditions shown in Figure 15 and Figure 16. It is
interesting to note that with constant Rsssc and constant Xsssc control, variation in magnitude of emulated
impedance by SSSC – ES during and after disturbance is negligible. In case of constant injected voltage
control, there is significant change in emulated impedance by SSC – ES.

4.4. Discussion
The inferences from the analysis of 4 quadrant operation of SSSC are
a. When SSSC injects reactive voltage alone, injected voltage will be +/ - 90° with respect to line current.
b. When SSSC injects both real and reactive voltage, it can operate in all the four quadrants and injected
voltage will be between + 180° and -180° with respect to line current.
c. Impedance emulated by SSSC depends on the operating condition.
d. In steady state, impedance emulated by SSSC for a given operating condition is independent of control
strategy used for SSSC – ES.
e. During a transient system disturbance, control strategy used for SSSC – ES will have significant impact
on the reactance and resistance emulated by SSSC.
f. Constant Rsssc and Xsssc control strategy will maintain the resistance and reactance emulated by SSSC
almost constant during and after disturbance.
g. Emulated impedance offered by SSSC – ES significantly changes during system disturbance, for constant
injected voltage control strategy and constant real power control.

h. Variation in reactance and resistance emulated by SSSC – ES during various operating conditions and
control strategies of SSSC – ES is likely to modify the apparent impedance measured at the relay
location. This can cause mal operation of the distance relay.
5. CONCLUSION
In this paper detailed modeling of an SMIB system with SSSC – ES is presented. Operation of SSSC
in all the 4 quadrants and injected voltage by SSSC with respect to line current is discussed.
Emulated reactance and resistance by SSSC – ES during various operating conditions is determined
analytically and validated through simulation. It is shown that operating condition of SSSC – ES will
influence the emulated reactance and resistance. It is further shown that during a system disturbance,
the emulated impedance by SSSC - ES depends on the control strategy adopted. Impedance values
determined analytically under various operating conditions of SSSC – ES are validated through simulation
results. Variation in emulated reactance and resistance by SSSC –ES during system disturbance will have an
impact on the operation of a distance relay. The apparent impedance seen by the relay will get modified and
is likely to cause mal operation of distance relay.
