Abstract

This paper presents a modeling and simulation of Neutral Point Clamped (NPC) Voltage Source Converter (VSC) based Hybrid Static Synchronous Series Capacitive Compensator (HSSSC) with direct and indirect control schemes is presented. The hybrid scheme is a combination of Static Synchronous Series Compensator (SSSC) and a fixed capacitor in series with the transmission line. The hybrid scheme is reduces the size and ratings of the SSSC in a transmission line system. The effectiveness of the schemes is to analysing the performance characteristics of HSSSC with direct and an indirect controller is evaluating using the MATLAB/SIMULINK^TM.

Keywords
