Dynamic characteristic analysis for FACTS using GACO-FNN

Abstract

The static synchronous series compensator (SSSC) is a series controller of Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS). It can be controlled by thyristors, it also has the ability of fast control adjustments and high frequency operation. Through impedance compensation, it is able to control the magnitude and directions of the real power flow in the transmission system. In order to achieve a fast and steady response for real power control in power systems, this paper proposed a unified intelligent controller, which consists of Fuzzy Neural Network (FNN) and Ant Colony Optimization plus Genetic Algorithms (GACO) for the SSSC to provide better control features for real power control in the dynamic operations of power systems. Finally, the simulation results of the proposed controllers are compared with the conventional proportional plus integral (PI) controllers to demonstrate the superiority and effectiveness of the unified intelligent controller.
