Experimental Study on Power System Stabilizing Control Scheme for the SMES with Solid-State Phase Shifter (SuperSMES) using local signals

Abstract

The combination of a Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage (SMES) and High Speed Phase Shifter is considered to be a unified power system controller. The combined system has been named as SuperSMES from the viewpoint of its capability. A new control scheme of the SuperSMES for the power system stabilization with a simple control sequence by using both generator signals or local signals has been proposed. This paper shows the results of a new stabilizing control scheme of the SuperSMES for power system stabilization based on experimental results with a 10kJ superconducting magnet and 10kVA model transmission line.
