Transients and Power Electronics in Power Systems

---

These case studies provide detailed, realistic examples of how to use SimPowerSystems software in typical power utility applications. All these examples use fixed-step discretized models. Case 1 shows a study of transients in an AC series-compensated transmission system. Cases 2 to 5 show examples of power-electronics based flexible AC transmission systems (FACTS) and cover two typical areas of FACTS applications:

• Cases 2 and 3 illustrate shunt reactive power compensation using two different technologies: a SVC using thyristors and a STATCOM using a square-wave GTO voltage-sourced converter.

• Cases 4 and 5 illustrate two technologies of power conversion for HVDC transmission: thyristor converters and pulse width modulation (PWM) voltage-sourced converters.

• Series-Compensated Transmission System

• Thyristor-Based Static Var Compensator

• GTO-Based STATCOM

• Thyristor-Based HVDC Link

• VSC-Based HVDC Link
