SIR A.R.

DEFINITION:

An electric power condition where the electric network exchanges energy with a turbine/ generator at one or more of the natural frequencies of the combined system below the synchronous frequency of the system.

The SSR manifests it self through three forms :

1.

Induction generator effect (involving the electrical system alone). 2. Torsional interaction (involving both the electrical and mechanical systems). 3. Transient torque

Torsional interaction :
One

of the means for obliterating torsional interaction between the torsional system of the generator and the series-compensated network is to install an SVC at the generator terminals. Ex: mohave generating station shaft damafge in 1970 &1971
This

is shown in figure below,,,...

 The

SVC is essentially a shunt-connected inductance, through which the current is modulated in response to the rotor oscillations or generator speed.

 This

SVC is equipped with only a speeddeviation controller, not the voltage regulator that constitutes an integral component of normal SVCs In other words: If the rotor velocity increases, the SVC reactive current is made to decrease, and vice versa.

 When

the rotor velocity increases, the reduction in the SVC inductive current enhances the electrical output of the generator. For a constant mechanical input, this enhancement leads to a reduction in the kinetic energy of the rotor, resulting in an eventual PM =PE +LOSS

 The

effectiveness of SVC control in damping the SSR is critically dependent on the phase shift between the SVC control input (generator-speed deviation) and the SVCimplemented susceptance change at the interconnected bus.

The

deterioration of the electrical mode damping with a speed-auxiliary signal is compensated by the addition of the voltage regulator to the generator speed-auxiliary control. The bus-voltage signal contributes the electrical state to the SVC control. This SVC configuration can therefore counteract successfully the torsional oscillations at all critical levels of series compensation, as well as the electrical selfexcitation from the induction-generator effect that occurs at high levels of series SSR MITIGATION 6/14/12 11 compensation.

 An

alternative concept in which a midlinelocated SVC in a series-compensated SMIB system is used for both power-transfer improvement and SSR stabilization.

Rating of an SVC:

 It

should be noted that because the rating was computed for one torsional mode, the rating would be different for the other modes; hence an appropriate size may be selected that can damp all the torsional modes.

ADVANTAGE:
As

a shunt device, it need not carry the full generator current, and it provides damping of all torsional oscillations. It is insensitive to system frequency variations.
