Powеr Quality Improvement In Powеr Systеm By Using SVPWM Based Static Synchronous Sеriеs Compеnsator

ABSTRACT:  

Power quality improvement is an important issue in power system. Flexible AC Transmission (FACTS) devices are commonly used for solving problems related to power quality and improving it. In this paper a synchronous static series compensator (SSSC) is used for control and modulation of power flow in a transmission line. The Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) and SVPWM control techniques are employed in SSSC. The active performance of SSSC is evaluated using Matlab/Simulink environment. The simulation results validate that the power quality is enhanced properly using SSSC.

CONCLUSION:

In this paper the problem of modulation and control of power flow in transmission line is carried out by using SSSC with PWM and SVPWM techniques. The performance of SSSC is validated using Matlab/Simulink software. Thus, simulation results and THD analysis shows that by using SVPWM based SSSC power quality gets improved more as compared to the SPWM based SSSC. Hence SVPWM technique proves better as compared to that of the SPWM technique for power quality improvement.
