Power flow control for transmission networks with implicit modeling of static synchronous series compensator

Abstract:

This paper presents an implicit modeling of Static Synchronous Series Compensator (SSSC) in Newton-Raphson load flow method. The algorithm of load flow is based on the revised current injection formulation. The developed model of SSSC is depended on the current injection approach. In this model, the voltage source representation of SSSC is transformed to current source, and then this current is injected at the sending and auxiliary buses. These injected currents at the terminals of SSSC are a function of the required line flow and voltage of buses. These currents can be included easily to the original mismatches at the terminal buses of SSSC. The developed model can be used to control active and reactive line flow together or individually. The implicit modeling of SSSC device decreases the complexity of load flow code, the modification of Jacobian matrix is avoided, the change only will be in the mismatches vector. Finally, this modeling solves the problem that happens when the SSSC is only connected between two areas. Numerical examples on the WSCC 9-bus, IEEE 30-bus system, and IEEE 118-bus system are used to illustrate the feasibility of the developed SSSC model and performance of the Newton-Raphson current injection load flow algorithm.
