Analytical design of static VAR compensator-based subsynchronous damping controller

In this paper, using a dynamic phasor model of static VAR compensator (SVC) a method to determine the phase response of a system analytically is presented. Then using the phase compensation method a subsynchronous damping controller (SSDC) for SVC is designed to mitigate subsynchronous resonance (SSR) in series capacitor compensated power systems. The designed SSDC is validated using detailed time-domain simulations in PSCAD/EMTDC. The case studies are carried out on the IEEE first benchmark system.
