Improving Transfer Capability Without Series Compensation Challenges: Utilizing M-SSSC Technology to Provide Series Compensation while Avoiding Sub-Synchronous Resonance Risk

Few states in the United States have demonstrated leadership as visionary as New York to ensure the transition to renewables and electrification. Through policy initiatives, the state has been ensuring the advancement of the electric grid for years. In 2014, New York’s Reforming the Energy Vision policy initiatives focused on creating a more energy-efficient and resilient grid while embracing new energy technologies in the state. In addition to emphasizing the importance of distributed energy resources DERs and smart grid technology, this effort, and recent decarbonization policies have laid the foundation for future initiatives focused on grid-scale renewables. This article demonstrates how Central Hudson is implementing technology on their system to increase the rate of renewables integration while avoiding challenges with traditional solutions.
