Abstract

This paper presents a dual control strategy applied to a Static Synchronous Series Compensator (SSSC). The dual control theory developed from first principles in the paper is subsequently, deployed in the control of a novel Voltage Sourced Converter (VSC) configuration operating under unbalanced line currents. This configuration has been used for the first time in a 47 MVAR demonstrator built for the Spanish transmission grid. Then, experimental results are obtained in a 200 kVA small-scale SSSC test bench, connected to an emulated transmission line, deliberately unbalanced for the test.
