The paper presents some of the activities of a research project on the benefits of FACTS on inter-area Power Oscillation Damping (POD). The project has involved a group of researchers from the Italian Interuniversity Consortium Energy and Power Systems (EnSiEL) and Terna S.p.A., the Italian transmission system operator. The paper analyses the installations of STATCOM devices in a test network and quantifies the obtainable improvements in terms of inter-area POD due to the occurrence of different contingencies. Two different types of STATCOM with variable sizes and two different control strategies for each of these types are compared through a proper definition of indices aiming at evaluating the quality of power supply. The paper shows the comparison among these different devices in terms of POD through appropriate indicators.

Abstract
The paper presents some of the activities of a research project on the benefits of FACTS on inter-area Power Oscillation Damping (POD). The project has involved a group of researchers from the Italian Interuniversity Consortium Energy and Power Systems (EnSiEL) and Terna S.p.A., the Italian transmission system operator. The paper analyses the installations of STATCOM devices in a test network and quantifies the obtainable improvements in terms of inter-area POD due to the occurrence of different contingencies. Two different types of STATCOM with variable sizes and two different control strategies for each of these types are compared through a proper definition of indices aiming at evaluating the quality of power supply. The paper shows the comparison among these different devices in terms of POD through appropriate indicators.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
