SSSC Controller a Pro-defensive and Preventive Approach for Power System Optimisation

Abstract

The conventional and modern controlling practices used in power technology contradict each other. This is due to their operational and observational outcome while mitigating with a power system. The modern quality power culture requirements in terms of daily usage have been revised drastically in the recent past. The traditional systems use a non-dynamic type controller device, whereas modern power system require dynamic one. The dynamic controller are designed by using power electronic components such as SCR, MOSFET, IGBT, GTO, Power BJT etc. Due Moreover, dynamic controllers can operate in either absorbing or delivering power modes to/from a system. The modern Power Systems being dynamic can utilise reactive power to useful energy. The present work is an effort to emphasize the usefulness of reactive power in order to minimize power loss. SSSC controller of FACTS device have been utilised to estimate reactive paper usage during loading. The results were very much encouraging. The parameters enhanced with this technique were found to be Bus Voltage, flow of Real Power and Reactive Power.
