abstract

  • This paper presents the first individual channel analysis and design (ICAD) of a high-order synchronous generator and a static VAr compensator (SVC) featuring a damping control loop. Particular emphasis
    is given to the closed-loop performance and robustness assessments.
    Fundamental analyses are carried out using ICAD and its frequency-domain
    approach to explain the dynamic behavior of the generator affected by
    an SVC with damping capabilities. A coordinated SVC voltage and damping
    control is achieved in a straightforward fashion owing to the
    transparent manner in which ICAD treats the complex interactions taking
    place between the synchronous generator and the SVC with a damping
    control loop. Using the ICAD framework, an indepth comparison is made
    between the competing abilities to provide system damping of the SVC and
    the power system stabilizer.
