Abstract

Nowadays, Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) devices are widely used in different power systems. As the application of these technologies increases, possible interferences in operational tasks of controllers and inappropriate oscillations in different situations like fault and post-fault conditions make the coordination of their controllers inevitable. In this paper, a Fuzzy Inference System (FIS) based coordinated design of Static Synchronous Series Compensator (SSSC) controllers is presented and discussed. The main advantages of the proposed scheme are good damping and overshoot reduction of oscillations and thereby improving power oscillations damping. The Trajectory Sensitivities (TS) analysis, which is a time domain method to evaluate the stability of a system in the presence of disturbances, is also used to assess the validity of this coordinated controller design method. The comparison of simulation results with the conventional Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controller based system validates the effectiveness of this design.
