Abstract

This work investigates the effects of three controllers, the PSS (Power System Stabilizer), and two FACTS devices, namely SVC (Static VAR Compensator) and STATCOM (Static Synchronous Compensator), on small-signal power system angle stability. This investigation is carried out for a single machine connected to an infinite bus via a loss-less transmission line. The study is based on investigation of the eigenvalues of the linearized power system model in the framework of dynamic bifurcation theory. The simulations results presented enable a comparative analysis of the effects of these controllers on damping power systems low frequency electromechanical oscillations.
