Minimization of Frequency Deviations in Multi-Area Power System with SSSC

Abstract

Generally, a large power system consists of small interlinked power systems. These small systems are known as single-area systems and the entire large power system is known as a multi-area system. As technology is evolving day by day, the smart loads on power systems have been increasing. Due to this, the sudden addition and rejection of load take place which causes the deviation of frequency in the system. This scenario leads to a raise of uncertainties in the system so these can be reduced by using SSSC (Static Synchronous Series Compensator) device which belongs to the FACTS (Flexible AC Transmission System) devices. The main aim of this research work is to reduce frequency deviations in multi-area systems by using SSSC devices. Hence, the frequency deviation is reduced during load uncertainties. The results are then obtained through MATLAB/SIMULINK.
