Abstract

Static Series Compensator (SSC) is a power electronic based device that provides three-phase controllable voltage source to restore the load voltage to pre-sag conditions within few milliseconds. This paper proposes a new control technique based on an adaptive tunning PI controller that uses a
selective controller to describe the effectiveness of SSC for mitigating voltage sags in power distribution systems at critical loads. The integral of time multiply squared error (ITSE) index is minimized to reach the optimal tuning of PI controllers based on particle swarm optimization (PSO) technique to determine whether the best fitting solution is achieved. The controller is designed in a synchronously-rotating reference frame. Independent (homopolar component, d-axis component and qaxis component) controllers are used to tackle balanced and unbalanced voltage supplies. Simulation is done using Simulink “SimPowerSystem” Toolbox to illustrate the principle and
performance of an SSC operation in load voltage compensation.
