Fast decoupled load flow analysis with SSSC power injection model.

This paper presents a facile incorporation of a static synchronous series compensator (SSSC) into the fast decoupled (FD) load flow method. The model is based on power injection formulation. The SSSC is represented by a series impedance and two power injection loads at the terminal nodes. These power injection loads are based on the specified power flow and updated during the iterative process. This developed model of SSSC can be implemented easily in the FD load flow method without changing in the basic computational algorithm. The developed model overcomes the problem of power flow SSSC model which exists when only the SSSC links two subnetworks. The FD load flow with the power injection model of SSSC has been validated using standard IEEE data. © 2014 Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan. Published by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
