Loss of 500 kV A–B transmission line causes voltage instability in surrounding subsystem. This condition may cause further disturbance in the whole interconnected system. Improvement of voltage stability can be handled by adding FACTS devices, such as Static Synchronous Series Compensator (SSSC) and Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM). SSSC and STATCOM have the capability of dynamically controlling the power flow through a line. This paper aims to compare the performance of both devices to increase system stability. These methods are compared by analyzing the bus voltage, active power in line and rotor angle. As a result, this paper shows that the implementation of STATCOM is more stable in state of SSSC.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
