Abstract

This paper explores the impact of integrating Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) controllers, specifically the Static Synchronous Series Compensator (SSSC) and the Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM), on power system performance. The objective of this study is to evaluate how these controllers can enhance various aspects of power system operation, including voltage regulation, power flow stability, and overall system efficiency. The methodology involves simulating power systems with and without the deployment of SSSC and STATCOM and analyzing their effects on voltage profiles, power flow characteristics, and system losses. The findings reveal that both SSSC and STATCOM significantly improve voltage stability and power flow control, leading to reduced system losses and enhanced operational efficiency. This study introduces a novel approach by comparing the performance enhancements provided by SSSC and STATCOM in different operational scenarios, offering valuable insights into their effectiveness. The results underscore the potential of FACTS technology in advancing power system stability and efficiency, making a substantial contribution to the field of power system optimization.
