Comparison of Application of SVC and STATCOM on Suppressing Subsynchronous Oscillation

Abstract:

As the main types of parallel FACTS devices, the basic function of SVC and STATCOM is to realize the dynamic compensation of reactive power and maintain system voltage stability. However, when new control strategies are added to them .Both of them can suppress SSO effectively. Based on IEEE first benchmark model, this paper established simulation model by PSCAD/EMTDC. The effects of suppressing SSO by SVC/STATCOM are verified with time domain simulation, and the comparative analyses are carried out on the effects of suppressing SSO by SVC and STATCOM.
