An LQG based PSS design for controlling the SSR in power systems with series-compensated lines

This paper presents a linear quadratic Gaussian (LQG) based-power system stabilizer (PSS) to control the subsynchronous resonance (SSR) that may occur in a series capacitor compensated power system. This paper investigates the dominant parameters on the SSR using the critical compensation level (CCL), and selects the design parameters to confirm the stability robustness. The complete SSR simulation system based on the IEEE first benchmark is employed in this study. Eigenvalue analysis and time domain simulations using a nonlinear system model show that the proposed PSS can control the SSR efficiently.
