User-defined modeling of static var compensation for electromechanical transient simulation in PSS/E

PSS/E is the power system simulation software that widely used on North American, and possesses powerful user-defined function. The static VAr compensator (SVC) is an important device for reactive power compensation. The CSVGN5 SVC, which is ready-made in PSS/E and widely used in western United States, and a modified SVC which is referenced the model in BPA, are built by means of user-defined function in PSS/E. Through the comparison of dynamic simulation results, the correctness and practicability of the proposed user-defined SVC model is validated.
