CHAPTER ONE
General
The theory of operation of the inverter-based series compensator considered in the investigations of this thesis was presented in [Rigby 1]. Chapter Five presents a brief case study of a four-generator system to investigate the mitigation of the inter-area mode damping problem using an inverter-based series compensator.

CHAPTER TWO
Historical Perspective
If there is no damping in the system, the generator rotor angle will oscillate indefinitely. The speed of the machine therefore increases, under the influence of the positive acceleration power, from the initial operating point and the angle of the generator rotor increases.
Power Oscillation Damping Strategies by Variation of Compensating Reactance in the Literature
- Introduction
In the case of multi-machine and inter-area method of damping oscillations is the basic problem. The fifth chapter of the thesis explores the ideas in [Swiftl,2] applied to the inter-area damping problem in a particular study system with four generators described in [Kundur].
CHAPTER THREE
Introduction
Linearizing the model in 3.2.1 gives the linear Phillips-Heffron (P-H) model equations for a single machine infinite bus current system [Heffron]. 3.1, and the derivation of the Phillips-Heffron (P-H) model that follows is based on the work of Swift and Wang [Swiftl,2] as well as Phillips and Heffron [Heffron]. 3.3) and is now the only differential equation associated with the electrical properties of the generator.
Kv = oE, /oMcsc represents the sensitivity of the generator terminal voltage to changes in the CSC reactance at a given operating point; Appendix C shows the parameters of the system taken into account in the studies performed in this section. The previous subsection briefly illustrated through a time domain simulation result that the assumptions in the simplified (MATLAB) nonlinear model are reasonable when the goal is to analyze the small signal stability (damping) of the system.
The operating point of the single-car infinite bus system considered in this study is the same as in the previous subsection. The simulated performance of the inverter-based series compensator at PSCADIEMTDC is shown in Fig. In the following chapter, detailed theoretical analyzes using the different models of the SMIB system in Fig.
CHAPTER FOUR
THEORETICAL ANALYSIS OF THE CSC APPLIED TO THE LOCAL MODE DAMPING PROBLEM USING THE
PHILLIPS-HEFFRON MODEL
Therefore, to be able to analyze the impact of the CSC damping control scheme in Fig. The torque output from channels Kq and Kv (via K2) as a result of changes in !::'xcsc is referred to [Swift 1 , 2] as the indirect torque input of the CSC damping controller. Therefore, at a high value of the controller gain, the CSC damping scheme is more effective (large controller action);
First, Table 4.1 shows the eigenvalues for the system with the CSC damping scheme inactive (damping scheme controller gain Kc set to zero). For the steady-state operating conditions in Table 4.1 (and without CSC damping control active), the electromechanical swing state of the system is unstable. Comparison of Tables 4.3 and 4.4 shows that the efficiency of the CSC attenuation control scheme is reduced when the system link is weakened.
4.4 (a) visually demonstrates the change in the damping of the generator rotor oscillations of the system in Fig. 4.4 (c) again shows the time-domain response of the generator rotor angle with the CSC damping controls active (Kc = 0.1) and with the values of Peo = 0.8 p.u. Moreover, the linearized analyzes indicated that a very high controller gain results in the best performance of the CSC damping scheme.
This subsection now examines the operation of the CSC damping controller when the input signal is/:l.£c) (for which. Nonlinear simulation of the system response in PSCADIEMTDC after a transient disturbance using for the CSC controller input,.
CHAPTER FIVE
APPLICATION OF THE CSC TO DAMPING INTER-AREA MODE OSCILLATIONS
In the time domain simulation studies that follow, it would clearly be desirable to improve the cross-zone mode oscillation damping of this system using the inverter-based CSC and its damping controls. The previous section described the linearized eigenvalues of the system in Fig. 5.1 that are presented in reference [Kundur]. A later section of this chapter will examine the use of the inverter-based compensator and its damping controls to improve the inter-zone mode damping situation in this study system.
Time domain simulation results of the four-machine system with a fixed amount of inverter-based series compensation and the damping controls inactive. Time domain simulation results showing the damping effect of the inverter-based series compensator using dPCSddt as input to the damping controller for inter-area oscillations. Time domain simulation results show the damping effect of the inverter-based series compensator using the synthesized velocity deviation as input to the damping controller for inter-area oscillations.
In the case of the inter-zone mode damping problem in the four-machine study system, these factors could be expected to contribute significantly to the performance of the CSC damping controller. For the time-domain simulations discussed in this chapter, a detailed four-generator power system model was developed at PSCADIEMTDC. Initially, the results of the linearized eigenvalues of the study system were examined (as presented in reference [KundurD; it was shown that the system has two stable modes between machines (local) and an unstable mode between regions.
CHAPTER SIX
CONCLUSION
Chapter Three described the development of the mathematical models of a single machine infinite bus power system required for the design and analysis of a CSC damping controller using the approach of Swift and Wang. The investigations subsequently carried out in the thesis made use of the models developed in Chapter Three and led to the findings and conclusions set out in the next section. The linearized Phillips-Heffron model of Swift and Wang was used to investigate the influence of the CSC damping controller on the stabilizing torques of the single machine infinite bus system.
As in the original work of Swift and Wang, the above results, obtained from linearized analysis, were then confirmed by nonlinear time-domain simulation studies using an idealized representation of the CSC. To this end, Chapter Four then examined three locally synthesized candidate input signals to the CSC's damping controller (as identified in the literature review in Chapter Two) and compared the characteristics of each of these signals to those of the actual generator speed deviation. The results of these comparisons confirmed that each of these signals could be considered as a CSC damping controller input for the inter-area mode damping studies to be considered in the final part of the thesis.
Finally, the fifth chapter of the thesis examined a well-known four-generator study system (previously considered in references [Kundur, Kleinl,2]) in which to investigate the application of CSC to the cross-zone mode damping problem . Additionally, Chapter Five examined the performance of the CSC damping control scheme for various damping controller gains, and the trend was shown to be similar to that found in the local mode damping study of Chapter Four, in that the damping positive added inter- Area mode also increases as the gain of the damping controller increases. Impact on system load damping controller performance. the characteristics and location of CSC within the system also needs examination. iv).
