Abstract
The paper proposes the theory and the modeling technique of the new invention of the flexible AC transmission system (FACTS) device, i.e., Gate controlled series capacitor (GCSC) for power flow control of power transmission lines and damping of low-frequency oscillations. In this study, a current injection model of the GCSC is used for studying the effect of the GCSC on the low-frequency oscillations, which is incorporated in the transmission system model. To be sure of optimal adjustment of the applied damping controller, the particle swarm optimization algorithm is employed as an efficient heuristic optimizer to And out the near global optimum set of the damping controller parameters. The proposed model is applied to a damping controller design of a multi-machine power system. Detailed simulations are carried out with MATLAB/SIMULINK environment and the effect of the GCSC-based damping controller and the current injection model over the system stability is studied.
