Description: This thesis presents an analytical formulation of the frequency domain characteristic of the Static Synchronous Series Compensator (SSSC). It mathematically proves that the SSSC has a frequency domain impedance characteristic similar to that of a capacitor. This thesis also investigates different controllers of the SSSC-Vq (Voltage as a reference) and  Xq (Impedance as a reference) controllers. The results of the analysis show that the two controllers display significantly different frequency domain characteristics for the same amount of reactive compensation. The frequency domain characteristics of the Vq controlled SSSC is a function of the operating point only, whereas the frequency domain characteristics of the Xq controlled SSSC is a function of the operating point as well as controller parameters. Comparison of analytical and simulation results shows very close agreement. The analytical model derived herein may be used to model and design an SSSC and to study occurrence of subsynchronous resonance (SSR) in the SSSC.
