Damping torque analysis of static VAR system controllers

Abstract: The use of a damping torque technique to examine the efficacy of various control signals, for reactive power modulation of a midpoint-located static VAr system (SVS) in enhancing the power transfer capability of long transmission lines is considered. A new auxiliary signal, the computed internal frequency (CIF), is proposed which synthesizes the internal voltage frequency of the remote generator from electrical measurements at the SVS bus. It is demonstrated that this signal is far superior to other conventional auxiliary control signals in that it allows full utilization of the network transmission capacity. The damping torque results are correlated with those obtained from eigenvalue analysis. >

Adaptive control of a synchronous machine using the auto-searching method

Abstract: A novel adaptive control scheme is presented for the design of a power system stabilizer (PSS) and a static VAr (reactive volt-ampere) compensator (SVC). The developed adaptive proportional-integral (PI) controllers, whose gains are adjusted in real time using the online-measured system operating conditions and a look-up table stored in computer memory, can offer better damper effects for generator oscillations over a wide range of operating conditions than conventional PI controllers with fixed gain settings. The effects of the adaptive PSS and the adaptive SVC on generator damping and terminal voltage profile are examined by computer simulation of system dynamic responses to a major disturbance. >

Thyristor-Controlled Reactors Nonlinear and Linear Dynamic Analytical Models

Abstract: This work presents the development of analytical models for thyristor-controlled reactors (TDRSS). A nonlinear model for the TCR was developed based on the use of generalized switching functions and from this model, a detailed linear model was derived. The linear model allows for the analysis and precise understanding of the behavior of the TCR under small disturbances both in the time and frequency domains, for frequency ranges up to some tens of Hertz. This model clearly shows that the TCR dynamics are operating point dependent. System parameter variations are also correctly considered in the model. With the proposed model, it is possible to design static var compensators (SVC) controllers in an integrated form, avoiding risks of instabilities and guaranteeing a good overall dynamic performance for the system. Validation of the models was done by comparing simulated results obtained with the proposed model with those obtained with a traditional electromagnetic transients program (EMTP).
