Real and Reactive power flow in an alternating current transmission line can be independently controlled by connecting, to the transmission line, a series- compensating voltage, which is variable in magnitude and phase angle. The Static Synchronous Series Compensator (SSSC), a solid-state voltage source inverter (VSC) coupled with a transformer, is connected in series with a transmission line. An SSSC injects an almost sinusoidal voltage, of variable magnitude, in series with a transmission line. This injected voltage is almost in quadrature with the line current, thereby emulating an inductive or a capacitive reactance in series with the transmission line. This emulated variable reactance, inserted by the injected voltage source, influences the electric power flow in the transmission line. In this report, an attempt is made to evolve the model of SSSC and VSC with preliminary studies for the controller design.

Power Flow Control In A Transmission Line Using Unified Power Flow ControllerIJMER
This paper concentrates on FACT device UPFC which is used for powerflow control in the
transmission side. With the growing demand of electricity, it is not possible to erect new lines to face the
situation. Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) makes use of the thyristor controlled devices and optimally
utilizes the existing transmission network. One of such device is Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) on
which the emphasis is given in this present work. Real, reactive power, and voltage balance of the unified
power-flow control (UPFC) system is analyzed. A novel coordination controller is proposed for the UPFC.
The basic control method is such that the shunt converter controls the transmission line reactive power
flow and the dc-link voltage. The series converter controls the real power flow in the transmission line and
the UPFC bus voltages. Experimental works have been conducted to verify the effectiveness of the
UPFC in power flow control in the transmission line. The simulation model was done in
MATLAB/SIMULINK platform.
POWER QUALITY IMPROVEMENT BY SSSC AND STATCOM USING PI CONTROLLERJournal For Research
This paper presents the enhancement of voltage stability using Static Synchronous compensator (STATCOM) and Static Synchronous series compensator (SSSC). In recent past years, along with the rapid increasing electrical power requirement has caused system to be heavily loaded leading to voltage instability. Under this condition there may be insufficient reactive power causing voltage to drop at various buses. The result would be the occurrence of voltage collapse which leads to total blackout of the whole system. FACT controllers have been used for solving various stability control problems. In this paper, SSSC and STATCOM are used to investigate the effect of these devices in controlling active and reactive powers to maintain voltage stability. The PI Controller is used to tune the circuit and to provide the zero signal error. Simulation results have been presented in MATLAB/Simulink environment for two machines four buses system.

Transformer-Less UPFC for Wind Turbine ApplicationsIJMTST Journal
In this paper, an innovative technique with a new concept of transformer-less unified power flow controller
(UPFC) is implemented. The construction of the conventional UPFC that consists of two back-to-back inverters
which results in complexity and bulkiness which involves the transformers which are complication for
isolation & attaining high power rating with required output waveforms. To reduce a above problem to a
certain extent, a innovative transformer-less UPFC based on less complex configuration with two cascade
multilevel inverters (CMIs) has been proposed. Unified power flow controller (UPFC) has been the most
versatile Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) device due to its ability to control real and reactive power
80w on transmission lines while controlling the voltage of the bus to which it is connected. UPFC being a
multi-variable power system controller it is necessary to analyze its effect on power system operation. The
new UPFC offers several merits over the traditional technology, such as Transformer-less, Light weight, High
efficiency, Low cost & Fast dynamic response. This paper mainly highlights the modulation and control for
this innovative transformer-less UPFC, involving desired fundamental frequency modulation (FFM) for low
total harmonic distortion (THD), independent active and reactive power control over the transmission line,
dc-link voltage balance control, etc. The unique capabilities of the UPFC in multiple line compensation are
integrated into a generalized power flow controller that is able to maintain prescribed, and independently
controllable, real power & reactive power flow in the line. UPFC simply controls the magnitude and angular
position of the injected voltage in real time so as to maintain or vary the real and reactive power flow in the
line to satisfy load demand & system operating conditions. UPFC can control various power system
parameters, such as bus voltages and line flows. The impact of UPFC control modes and settings on the
power system reliability has not been addressed sufficiently yet. Cascade multilevel inverters has been
proposed to have an overview of producing the light weight STATCOM’s which enhances the power quality at
the output levels.When the multilevel converter is applied to STATCOM, each of the cascaded H-bridge
converters should be equipped with a galvanically isolated and floating dc capacitor without any power
source or circuit. This enables to eliminate a bulky, heavy, and costly line-frequency transformer from the
cascade STATCOM. When no UPFC is installed, interruption of either three-phase line due to a fault reduces
an active power flow to half, because the line impedance becomes double before the interruption. Installing
the UPFC makes it possible to control an amount of active power flowing through the transmission system.
Results has been shown through MATLAB Simulink

A flexible alternating current transmission system (FACTS) is a system composed of static equipment used for the AC transmission of electrical energy. It is meant to enhance controllability and increase power transfer capability of the network. It is generally a power electronics-based system.
In conventional AC transmission system, the ability to transfer AC power is limited by several factors like thermal limits, transient stability limit, voltage limit, short circuit current limit etc. These limits define the maximum electric power which can be efficiently transmitted through the transmission line without causing any damage to the electrical equipments and the transmission lines. This is normally achieved by bringing changes in the power system layout. However this is not feasible and another way of achieving maximum power transfer capability without any changes in the power system layout. Also with the introduction of variable impedance devices like capacitors and inductors, whole of the energy or power from the source is not transferred to the load, but a part is stored in these devices as reactive power and returned back to the source. Thus the actual amount of power transferred to the load or the active power is always less than the apparent power or the net power. For ideal transmission the active power should be equal to the apparent power. In other words, the power factor (the ratio of active power to apparent power) should be unity. This is where the role of Flexible AC transmission System comes.

system dynamic enhancement and inter-area oscillation damping are
investigated. A hybrid phase imbalanced scheme is a shunt capacitive
compensation scheme, where two phases are compensated by fixed shunt
capacitor (C) and the third phase is compensated by a Static Synchronous
Compensator (STATCOM) in shunt with a fixed capacitor (CC). The power
system dynamic stability enhancement would be achieved by adding
a conventional Wide Area Damping Controller (WADC) to the main control
loop of the single phase STATCOM. Two different control methodologies
are proposed: a non-optimized conventional damping controller
and a conventional damping controller with optomised parameters that are
added to the main control loop of the unbalanced compensator in order to
damp the inter area oscillations. The proposed arrangement would, certainly,
be economically attractive when compared with a full three-phase
STATCOM. The proposed scheme is prosperously applied in a 13-bus
six-machine test system and various case studies are conducted to
demonstrate its ability in damping inter-area oscillations and power system
dynamic enhancement.
Fuzzy Gain-Scheduling Proportional–Integral Control for Improving the Speed B...IJPEDS-IAES
In this article, we have set up a vector control law of induction machine
where we tried different type of speed controllers. Our control strategy is of
type Field Orientated Control (FOC). In this structure we designed a Fuzzy
Gain-Scheduling Proportional–Integral (Pi) controller to obtain best result
regarding the speed of induction machine. At the beginning we designed a Pi
controller with fixed parameters. We came up to these parameters by
identifying the transfer function of this controller to that of Broïda (second
order transfer function). Then we designed a fuzzy logic (FL) controller.
Based on simulation results, we highlight the performances of each
controller. To improve the speed behaviour of the induction machine, we
have designend a controller called “Fuzzy Gain-Scheduling Proportional–
Integral controller” (FGS-PI controller) which inherited the pros of the
aforementioned controllers. The simulation result of this controller will
strengthen its performances.
Advance Technology in Application of Four Leg Inverters to UPQCIJPEDS-IAES
This article presents a novel application of four leg inverter with
conventional Sinusoidal Pulse Width Modulation (SPWM) Scheme to
Unified Power Quality Conditioner (UPQC). The Power Quality problem
became burning issues since the starting of high voltage AC transmission
system. Hence, in this article it has been discussed to mitigate the PQ issues
in high voltage AC systems through a three phase Unified Power Quality
Conditioner (UPQC) under various conditions, such as harmonic mitigation
scheme, non linear loads, sag and swell conditions as well. Also, it proposes
to control harmoincs with various artificial intelligent techniques. Thus
application of these control technique such as Neural Networks (ANN)
Fuzzy Logic makes the system performance in par with the standards
and also compared with existing system. The simulation results based on
MATLAB/Simulink are discussed in detail to support the concept developed
in the paper.
Modified SVPWM Algorithm for 3-Level Inverter Fed DTC Induction Motor DriveIJPEDS-IAES
In this paper, a modified space vector pulse width modulation (MSVPWM)
algorithm is developed for 3-level inverter fed direct torque controlled
induction motor drive (DTC-IMD). MSVPWM algorithm simplifies
conventional space vector pulse width modulation (CSVPWM) algorithm for
multilevel inverter (MLI), whose complexity lies in sector/subsector/subsubsector
identification; which will commensurate with number of levels. In
the proposed algorithm sectors are identified as in two level inverter
and subsectors/sub-subsectors are identified by shifting the original reference
vector to sector 1 (S1). This is valid due to the fact that a three level space
vector plane is a composition of six two level space planes, and are
symmetrical with reference to six pivot states. Switching state/sequence
selection is also very important while dealing with SVPWM strategy for
MLI. In the proposed algorithm out of 27 available switching states apt
switching state is selected based on sector and subsector number, such that
voltage ripple is considerably less. To validate the proposed algorithm, it is
tested on a three level neutral point clamped (NPC) inverter fed DTC-IMD.
The performance of the MSVPWM algorithm is analyzed by comparing no
load stator current ripple of the three level DTC-IMD with two level
DTC-IMD. Significant reduction in steady state torque and flux ripple is
observed. Hence, reduced acoustic noise is a distinctive facet of the proposed
method.

The d-q model of Induction Motors (IMs) has been effectively used as an
efficient method to analyze the performance of the induction machines. This
study presents a step by step Matlab/Simulink implementation

using d-q model. The presented technique in this paper can be simply
implemented in one block and can be made available for control purposes.
The simulated results provide to show the behavior of the star-connected 3-phase IM under open-phase fault condition.

With development of power electronics and control Theories, the AC motor
control becomes easier. So the AC motors are used instead of the DC motor
in the drive applications. With this development, a several methods of control
are invented. The field oriented control and direct torque control are from the
best methods to control the drive systems. This paper is compared between
the field oriented control and direct torque control to show the advantages
and disadvantages of these methods of controls. This study discussed the
effects of these methods of control on the total harmonic distortion of the
current and torque ripples. This occurs through study the performance
characteristics of the AC motor. The motor used in this study is an induction
motor. This study is simulated through the MATLAB program.
A Novel Modified Turn-on Angle Control Scheme for Torque- Ripple Reduction in...IJPEDS-IAES
In recent years, Switched Reluctance Motors (SRM) have been dramatically
considered with both researchers and industries. SRMs not only have a
simple and reliable structure, but also have low cost production process.
However, discrete torque production of SRM along with intensive magnetic
saturation in stator and rotor cores are the major drawbacks of utilizing in
variety of industrial applications and also causes the inappropriate torque
ripples. In this paper, a modified logical-rule-based Torque Sharing Function
(TSF) method is proposed considering turn-on angle control. The optimized
turn-on angle for conducting each phase is achieved by estimating the
inductance curve in the vicinity of unaligned position and based on an
analytical solution for each phase voltage equation. Simulation results on a
four-phase switched reluctance motor and comparison with the conventional
methods validates the effectiveness of the proposed method.
Modeling and Simulation of Induction Motor based on Finite Element AnalysisIJPEDS-IAES
This paper presents the development of a co-simulation platform of induction
motor (IM). For the simulation, a coupled model is introduced which
contains the control, the power electronics and also the induction machine.
Each of these components is simulated in different software environments.
So, this study provides an advanced modeling and simulation tools for IM
which integrate all the components into one common simulation platform
environment. In this work, the IM is created using Ansys-Maxwell based on
Finite Element Analysis (FEA), whereas the power electronic converter is
developed in Ansys-Simplorer and the control scheme is build in MATLABSimulink
environment. Such structure can be useful for accurate design
and allows coupling analysis for more realistic simulation. This platform is
exploited to analyze the system models with faults caused by failures of
different drive’s components. Here, two studies cases are presented: the first
is the effects of a faulty device of the PWM inverter, and the second case is
the influence of the short circuit of two stator phases. In order to study the
performance of the control drive of the IM under fault conditions,
a co-simulation of the global dynamic model has been proposed to analyze
the IM behavior and control drives. In this work, the co-simulation has been
performed; furthermore the simulation results of scalar control allowed
verifying the precision of the proposed FEM platform.
Comparative Performance Study for Closed Loop Operation of an Adjustable Spee...IJPEDS-IAES
In this paper an extensive comparative study is carried out between PI
and PID controlled closed loop model of an adjustable speed Permanent
Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) drive. The incorporation of Sinusoidal
Pulse Width Modulation (SPWM) strategy establishes near sinusoidal
armature phase currents and comparatively less torque ripples without
sacrificing torque/weight ratio. In this closed loop model of PMSM drive, the
information about reference speed is provided to a speed controller, to ensure
that actual drive speed tracks the reference speed with ideally zero steady
state speed error. The entire model of PMSM closed loop drive is divided
into two loops, inner loop current and outer loop speed. By taking the
different combinations of two classical controllers (PI & PID) related with
two loop control structure, different approximations are carried out. Hence a
typical comparative study is introduced to familiar with the different
performance indices of the system corresponding to time domain and
frequency domain specifications. Therefore overall performance of closed
loop PMSM drive is tested and effectiveness of controllers will be
determined for different combinations.

This paper presents an electronic design based on general purpose discrete
components for speed control of a single phase induction motor drive. The
MOSFETs inverter switching is controlled using Sampled Sinusoidal Pulse

Controlled Oscillator (VCO). The load power is also controlled by a novel
design to produce a suitable SPWM pulse. The proposed electronic system
has ability to control the output frequency with flexible setting of lower limit
to less than 1 Hz and to higher frequency limits to 55 Hz. Moreover, the
proposed controller able to control the value of load voltage to frequency
ratio, which plays a major parameter in the function of IM speed control.
Furthermore, the designed system is characterized by easy manufacturing
and maintenance, high speed response, low cost, and does not need to
program steps as compared to other systems based on Microcontroller
and digital signal processor (DSP) units. The complete proposed electronic
design is made by the software of NI Multisim version 11.0 and all the
internal sub-designs are shown in this paper. Simulation results show the
effectiveness of electronic design for a promising of a high performance IM

Sensorless Control of a Fault Tolerant PMSM Drives in Case of Single-Phase Op...IJPEDS-IAES
This paper introduces a sensorless-speed-controlled PMSM motor fed by a
four-leg inverter in case of a single phase open circuit fault regardless in
which phase is the fault. To minimize the system performance degradation
due to a single phase open circuit fault, a fault tolerant control strategy that
includes taking appropriate actions to control the two remaining healthy
currents is used in addition to use the fourth leg of the inverter. Tracking the
saliency is done through measuring the dynamic current responses of the
healthy phases of the PMSM motor due the IGBT switching actions using the
fundamental PWM method without introducing any modification to the
operation of the fourth leg of the inverter. Simulation results are provided to
verify the effectiveness of the proposed strategy for sensorless controlling of
a PMSM motor driven by a fault-tolerant four-phase inverter over a wide
speed ranges under the case of a single phase open circuit.
Improved Stator Flux Estimation for Direct Torque Control of Induction Motor ...IJPEDS-IAES
Stator flux estimation using voltage model is basically the integration of the
induced stator back electromotive force (emf) signal. In practical
implementation the pure integration is replaced by a low pass filter to avoid
the DC drift and saturation problems at the integrator output because of the
initial condition error and the inevitable DC components in the back emf
signal. However, the low pass filter introduces errors in the estimated stator
flux which are significant at frequencies near or lower than the cutoff
frequency. Also the DC components in the back emf signal are amplified at
the low pass filter output by a factor equals to . Therefore, different
integration algorithms have been proposed to improve the stator flux
estimation at steady state and transient conditions. In this paper a new
algorithm for stator flux estimation is proposed for direct torque control
(DTC) of induction motor drives. The proposed algorithm is composed of a
second order high pass filter and an integrator which can effectively
eliminates the effect of the error initial condition and the DC components.
The amplitude and phase errors compensation algorithm is selected such that
the steady state frequency response amplitude and phase angle are equivalent
to that of the pure integrator and the multiplication and division by stator
frequency are avoided. Also the cutoff frequency selection is improved; even
small value can filter out the DC components in the back emf signal. The
simulation results show the improved performance of the induction motor
direct torque control drive with the proposed stator flux estimation algorithm.
The simulation results are verified by the experimental results.
Minimization of Starting Energy Loss of Three Phase Induction Motors Based on...IJPEDS-IAES
The purpose of this paper is to minimize energy losses consumed by three
phase induction motors during starting with wide range of load torque from
no load to full load. This will limit the temperature rise and allows for more
numbers of starting during a definite time. Starting energy losses
minimization is achieved by controlling the rate of increasing voltage
and frequency to start induction motor under certain load torque within a
definite starting time. Optimal voltage and frequency are obtained by particle
swarm optimization (PSO) tool according to load torque. Then, outputs of the
PSO are used to design a neuro-fuzzy controller to control the output voltage
and frequency of the inverter during starting for each load torque. The
starting characteristics using proposed method are compared to that of direct
on line and V/F methods. A complete model of the system is developed using
SIMULINK/MATLAB.

leakage inductance which is present in a transformer enabled converter.
The output ripples in the converter is reduced by providing a π filter.
The interleaved voltage quadrupler is used in this system in order to boost the
output voltage. The voltage multiplier improves the output voltage gain.
The main advantage of this system is more voltage gain when compared with
the transformer eneabled circuit and the overall efficiency of the system is
improved. The circuit is simple to control. As a final point of this research,
the simulation and the hardware investigational results are presented to
demonstrate the effectiveness of this proposed converter.
IRAMY Inverter Control for Solar Electric VehicleIJPEDS-IAES
Solar Electric Vehicles (SEV) are considered the future vehicles to solve the issues of air pollution, global warming, and the rapid decreases of the petroleum resources facing the current transportation technology. However, SEV are still facing important technical obstacles to overcome. They include batteries energy storage capacity, charging times, efficiency of the solar panels and electrical propulsion systems. Solving any of those problems and electric vehicles will compete-complement the internal combustion engines vehicles. In the present work, we propose an electrical propulsion system based on three phase induction motor in order to obtain the desired speed and torque with less power loss. Because of the need to lightweight nature, small volume, low cost, less maintenance and high efficiency system, a three phase squirrel cage induction motor (IM) is selected in the electrical propulsion system. The IM is fed from three phase inverter operated by a constant V/F control method and Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation (SVPWM) algorithm. The proposed control strategy has been implemented on the texas instruments TM320F2812 Digital Signal Processor (DSP) to generate SVPWM signal needed to trigger the gates of IGBT based inverter. The inverter used in this work is a three phase inverter IRAMY20UP60B type. The experimental results show the ability of the proposed control strategy to generate a three-phase sine wave signal with desired frequency. The proposed control strategy is experimented on a locally manufactured EV prototype. The results show that the EV prototype can be propelled to speed up to 60km/h under different road conditions.

This paper discusses the Power Factor Correction (PFC) for single phase AC-DC Buck-Boost Converter (BBC) operated in Continuous Conduction Mode (CCM) using inductor average current mode control. The proposed control technique employs Proportional-Integral (PI) controller in the outer voltage loop and the Inductor Average Current Mode Control (IACMC) in the inner current loop for PFC BBC.

Today, it is expected that within the operating constraints of the current-carrying thermal limits of
conductor, the voltage limits of electrical insulating devices, and the structural limits of the supporting
infrastructure, an operator should be able to control power flows on lines to secure the highest safety margin
as well as transmit electrical power at a minimum of operating cost.
In general, FACTS devices possess the following technological attributes [3]:
Provide dynamic reactive power support and voltage control.
Reduce the need for construction of new transmission lines, capacitors, reactors, etc which,
– Mitigate environmental and regulatory concerns.
– Improve aesthetics by reducing the need for construction of new facilities such as
transmission lines.
Improve system stability.
Control real and reactive power flow.
The following FACTS controllers are used to control the power flow in transmission line network
Thyristor-Switched Series Capacitor (TSSC)
Thyristor-Controlled Series Capacitor (TCSC)
Thyristor-Controlled Phase Angle Regulator (PAR)
Static Synchronous Series Compensator (SSSC)
The Static Synchronous Series Compensator is one of the most recent FACTS devices for power
transmission line series compensation. The operation and control fundamentals of the SSSC can be found in
[1], [4], [5].
1.4. Static Synchronous Series Compensation (SSSC)
Figure 1. Basic Building block of SSSC
The basic building block of the SSSC as shown Figure 1 is a dc-ac converter which is connected in
series with the transmission line by a coupling transformer. This injected voltage is almost in quadrature with
the line current. A small part of the injected voltage which is in phase with the line voltage which is in
quadrature with the line current emulates an inductive or a capacitive reactance in series with the
transmission line. This emulated variable reactance, inserted by the injected voltage source, influences the
electric power flow in the transmission line.
An impedance compensation controller can compensate for the transmission line resistance if an
SSSC is operated with an energy storage system. An impedance compensation controller, when used with an
SSSC and no energy storage system, is essentially a reactance compensation controller.

2.1. Direct Method of Voltage Regulation
In order to regulate the voltage at any point in a transmission line, an in-phase or an out-of-phase
voltage is connected in series with the line [6]. Figure 2(a) shows a voltage regulator scheme for regulating
the voltage at any point in a transmission line. The exciter unit consists of a three-phase Y connected primary
winding, which is impressed with the line voltage, Vs. The voltage-regulating unit consists of a total of six
secondary windings (two windings in each phase for a bipolar voltage connection). The line is regulated at a
voltage, Vs’, by adding a compensating voltage, Vs’s, either in- or out of phase with the line voltage, Vs. The
corresponding phasor diagram is shown in Figure 2(b).
Figure 2. (a) Voltage regulator circuit (b) phasor diagram
The bipolar compensating voltage in any phase is induced, through autotransformer action, in two
windings placed on the same phase of the transformer core.
2.2. Phase Angle Regulation
A Phase Angle Regulator (PAR) connects a voltage in series with the transmission line and in
quadrature with the phase-to neutral voltage of the transmission line as shown in Figure 3(a). The series-
connected compensating voltage introduces a phase shift, , [Figure 3(b)] whose magnitude (for small
change) in radian varies with the magnitude of the compensating voltage in p.u where the phase-to-neutral
voltage of the transmission line is the base voltage [6].

In a typical configuration, a PAR consists of two transformers as shown in Figure 3(a). The first
transformer (exciter unit) is called a regulating transformer and is connected in shunt with the line. Its
primary windings are excited from the line voltage (Vs) and a three-phase bipolar voltage is induced in the
secondary windings. With the use of taps, a compensating voltage (Vs’s) with variable magnitude and in
quadrature with the line voltage is generated from the phase-to-phase voltage of the induced voltage of the
regulating transformer. For series connection of this voltage, an electrical isolation is necessary. The second
transformer (series unit) is called a series transformer and is excited from the phase-to-phase voltage of the
regulating transformer. The induced voltage of the series transformer is connected in series with the line. If
the series transformer is a step-down transformer, the primary windings of the series transformer as well as
the secondary windings of the regulating transformer are high voltage- and low current rated so that the taps
on the secondary side of the regulating transformer can operate at a low current and can ride through a high
fault current.
2.3. Series Reactance Emulation
In a special case, the sending-end voltage magnitude and its phase angle can also be varied together
in such a way so that the effective line reactance is changed. The indirect way to implement a variable series
capacitor or a variable inductor is to connect a variable magnitude compensating voltage in series with the
line and in quadrature with the line current. Through control action, the magnitude of the compensating
voltage can be varied and made lagging or leading the prevailing line current in order to emulate a variable
capacitor or a variable inductor. Through the use of a Static Synchronous Series Compensator, a variable
magnitude series-connected compensating voltage source is implemented [6].
2.4. An Ideal Series-Connected Power Flow Controller
The effect of a series-connected variable magnitude and variable angle compensating voltage on the
power flow in a transmission line is shown in Figure 4. A simple power transmission system with a sending-
end voltage, Vs, a receiving-end voltage, Vr, the voltage, VX, across line reactance, XL and the compensating
voltage, Vs’s, is shown in Figure 4(a). For simplicity, it is considered that Vs = Vr = 1 pu, the angle between
them to be = 30, and XL = 0.5 pu. When the transmission line is uncompensated, the real power flow in
the line is 1 pu and the reactive power flow at the receiving-end is 0.268 pu capacitive

The voltage across the transmission line is the difference between the sending- and receiving-end
voltages and it is 0.5176 pu. Figure 4(b) shows the phasor diagram related to a series-connected
compensating voltage with a fixed magnitude of 0.2588 pu and its entire controllable range of 0 ≤ ≤
360o
. The compensating voltage, Vs’s, is added to the fixed sending end voltage, Vs, to produce the effective
sending-end voltage, Vs’ = Vs + Vs’s. The difference, Vs’ – Vr, provides the compensated voltage, VX,
across XL. As the angle, , is varied over its full 360 range, the end of phasor, Vs’s, moves along a circle
with its center located at the end of phasor, Vs. The rotation of phasor, Vs’s, with angle, , modulates both
the magnitude and the angle of phasor, VX. The real power, Pr, and the reactive power, Qr, at the receiving-
end vary with angle,, in a sinusoidal manner as shown in Figure 4(c).
The compensating voltage, Vs’s, is at any angle with the prevailing line current, I, and, therefore,
exchanges, with the line, both real power, Pexch (= VdI), and reactive power, Qexch (= VqI), where Vd and
Vq are the respective real or direct and reactive or quadrature components of the compensating voltage with
load convention. These exchanged real power, Pexch, and reactive power, Qexch, are also sinusoidal
functions of angle, , as shown in Figure 4(c). For a given magnitude of a compensating voltage, the
exchanged capacitive power, Qexch, is larger than its inductive counterpart due to the fact that the capacitive
compensation produces a larger line current.
The compensating voltage, being at any angle with the prevailing line current, emulates in series
with the line a capacitor (C) or an inductor (L) and a positive resistor (+R) or a negative resistor (-R). The
real and reactive power flow in A compensating voltage can be in- or out-of-phase with the phase-to-neutral
voltage of the transmission line to implement a voltage regulator.
A compensating voltage can be in quadrature with the phase-to-neutral voltage of the transmission
line to implement a phase angle regulator.
A compensating voltage can be such that it provides series reactance compensation because of being
in quadrature with the prevailing line current. If the circular controllable area is equally divided by
the reactance compensator line (Vd = 0 or Pexch = 0), the upper and lower halves represent Pexch

The Sen Transformer (ST), Figure 5, which is a single-core, three-phase transformer with a Y-
connected primary winding and nine secondary windings. The ST provides two functions
Voltage regulation
Impedance regulation for independent control of bidirectional active and reactive power flow.
The family of Sen Transformers connects a series compensating voltage of variable magnitude at any angle
with respect to the line voltage. The compensating voltage exchanges both real and reactive power with the
line. Since the compensating voltage is derived from the line voltage through a transformer action with the
primary windings, the exchanged real and reactive power with the line must flow through the primary
windings to the line.

In a Sen transformer, as shown in Figure 5, there are two units: exciter unit and compensating-
voltage unit. The exciter unit consists of three primary windings (A, B, and C) that are Y-connected and
placed on each limb of a three-limb, single-core transformer. The three-phase transmission-line voltage (VsA,
VsB, and VsC) at the sending end is applied in shunt to the exciter unit.
3. STATIC SYNCHRONOUS SERIES COMPENSATION
3.1. Theory
The indirect way to implement a variable series capacitor or a variable inductor is to connect a
variable magnitude compensating voltage in series with the line and in quadrature with the line current. If the
SSSC voltage, VS, lags the line current, IL, by 90, a capacitive series compensation is obtained and if VS,
leads IL by 90, an inductive series compensation is obtained. By controlling the magnitude VS and phase
angle of the amount of series compensation can be adjusted.
3.2. Mathematical Model
Figure 1 shows a single line diagram of a simple transmission line with an inductive reactance, XL,
connecting a sending-end voltage source, Vs, and a receiving-end voltage source, Vr, respectively [6], [7]
[8].
The real and reactive power (P and Q) flow at the receiving-end voltage source are given by the
expressions
Where Vs and Vr are the magnitudes and s and s are the phase angles of the voltage sources Vs
and Vr, respectively. For simplicity, the voltage magnitudes are chosen such that Vs=Vr=V and the
difference between the phase angles is = s-r.
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, XL.
Therefore, the expressions for power flow given in equation (1) become
Where Xeff 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.
Figure 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 I0% to I-
100%, when the inductive reactance compensation, - Xq/XL, increases from 0% to 100%. The line current
increases from I0% to I33%, when the capacitive reactance compensation, Xq/XL, 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

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. When the emulated reactance
is inductive, the power flow, Pq and Qq, decrease and the effective reactance, Xeff, increases as the reactance
compensation, -Xq/XL, increases. When the emulated reactance is capacitive, the power flow, Pq and Qq,
increase and the effective reactance, Xeff, decreases as the reactance compensation, Xq/XL, increases.
4. METHODOLOGY
4.1. Voltage Source Converter (VSC)
Figure 6. Basic principles of VSC
Voltage fed converter means [1], [9], it receives the dc voltage at one side and convert it to ac
voltage on the other side. The ac voltage frequency maybe variable or constant depends on the applications.
The voltage – fed inverter should have a stiff voltage source at the input, that is, its Thevenin impedance
should ideally zero. If the input voltage is not stiff a large DC capacitor can connect at the input side
irrespective of DC voltage variations. In this simulation studies also large value of capacitor (splits into two)
is connected in front of the converter.
Figure 6 shows the block diagram representation of VSC. The basic concept of voltage source
converter and current source converter has been studied [1] in details.
4.2. Principle of operation of VSC
Figure 7. Single valve operation
Figure 7 shows the principle of operation of an IGBT based single valve connection diagram. Gating
instant is not shown in Figure 3.2, for simplicity of explanation.
The capacitor voltage Vd is assumed to be a constant, supported by a large capacitor. With the
positive terminal of the capacitor is connected to the collector of the IGBT. When IGBT is turned ON, the
positive dc terminal is connected to an ac terminal at ‘A’ and the ac voltage would jump to Vd. If the current
happens to flow from +Vd to ‘A’ (through IGBT), the power would flow from the dc side to ac side (inverter
action). However, if the current happens to flow from ‘A’ to +Vd it will flow through the diode even the
IGBT is ON, and power will flow from ac side to dc side (rectifier action). Thus the valve with combinations
of diode can handle the power flow in direction, this valve and its capability to act as a rectifier or as an
inverter with instantaneous current flow in positive or negative direction respectively, is basic to voltage
source converter concepts.

4.3. Basic Control of SSSC
The basic building block of the SSSC as shown in figure 8 is a dc-ac converter which is connected
in series with the transmission line by a coupling transformer. If the SSSC voltage, VS, lags the line current,
IL, by 90º, capacitive series compensation is obtained and if VS leads by IL 90º, inductive series compensation
is obtained. By controlling the magnitude of the amount of series compensation can be adjusted [10], [11].
The only way to control the magnitude of the converter ac voltage is by the input dc voltage. The dc
capacitor voltage control is achieved by a small phase displacement, , real power flows from the SSSC to
the transmission line and the dc capacitor is discharged. Similarly, real power flows from the transmission
line to the SSSC and the dc capacitor is charged. Besides, a small amount of real power from the
transmission line is required to compensate the converter switching and coupling transformer losses.
Figure 8. Basic Control block of SSSC
4.4. Proposed Power Flow Control using SSSC
The main function of the SSSC is to control the real power flow. This can be achieved either by
direct control of the line current or power, or alternatively by indirect control of the compensating reactance,
Xs, or series voltage, Vs. Because of practical considerations, sometimes the reactance control may be
preferred. [12] [13].
The degree of series compensation, S, is usually expressed as the ratio of the series injected
reactance, XS, to the transmission line reactance, XL. Therefore, S = (XS/XL) and the reference reactance is
SXL which is negative for capacitive and positive for inductive compensation. Figure shows the basic control
structure of the SSSC, with the series injected reactance, XS, as the reference value as shown in figure 9.
The Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) system provides the basic synchronization signal,, which is the
phase angle of the line current. XRef is compared with XS and the error is passed to a PI controller that
generates the required phase angle displacement, . The final output of the control system is the phase
angle of the SSSC voltage.

Figure 9. Basic Control Block for SSSC
XReff 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, XS, 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.
5. CONCLUSION
In this paper, an attempt is made to review the model of SSSC and VSC with preliminary studies for
the controller design. 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 line 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. An attempt has been made to evolve a better control strategy to control the
power flow in the transmission line using voltage source converter. The power flow control using sen
transformer discussed in [5], is considered as reference for evolving control strategy for SSSC.
