energy st<strong>or</strong>age with a FACTS controller in damping low frequency oscillation that could<br />

not have been achieved with the STATCOM plus post oscillation damping (POD) alone.<br />

"The results illustrate that a STATCOM alone (i.e. no POD) will regulate voltage<br />

in the post contingency period but will not naturally add much damping to power<br />

oscillations. The STATCOM with POD signal applied to its voltage reference<br />

may damp swing oscillations following a disturbance however this is achieved at<br />

the expense <strong>of</strong> voltage regulation. The <strong>com</strong>bination <strong>of</strong> STATCOM plus SMES<br />

with POD modulating the SMES output will allow the system to both regulate<br />

voltage and provide oscillation damping." [2]<br />

The use <strong>of</strong> large-scale (100 MVAR <strong>or</strong> m<strong>or</strong>e) FACTS controllers to provide dynamic<br />

reactive <strong>com</strong>pensation has already been demonstrated through several landmark projects.<br />

However, because <strong>of</strong> high initial cost, the alternative <strong>of</strong> a smaller scale, modularized,<br />

distributed real, and reactive VAR injection has recently received considerable attention.<br />

The key to this application is the injection <strong>of</strong> real energy st<strong>or</strong>age to maintain the speed <strong>of</strong><br />

mot<strong>or</strong>s, which in turn reduces the inrush current <strong>f<strong>or</strong></strong> feeders heavily loaded with mot<strong>or</strong><br />

loads. This minimizes bus voltage depression and thus helps with both rot<strong>or</strong> angle and<br />

voltage stability. By providing a critical boost to the system both during faults and<br />

following the clearing <strong>of</strong> faults helps avert instability. This type <strong>of</strong> distributed dynamic<br />

reactive <strong>com</strong>pensation with energy st<strong>or</strong>age is particularly suitable <strong>f<strong>or</strong></strong> solving transient<br />

voltage stability problems in a weak p<strong>or</strong>tion <strong>of</strong> the netw<strong>or</strong>k with a high concentration <strong>of</strong><br />

induction mot<strong>or</strong> loads during peak loading conditions.<br />

The advantage <strong>of</strong> energy st<strong>or</strong>age under these conditions is mainly in reducing the<br />

maximum transient voltage dip, which is a measure <strong>of</strong> the dynamic per<strong>f<strong>or</strong></strong>mance <strong>of</strong> the<br />

system [3]. Based on Western Systems Co<strong>or</strong>dinating Council (WSCC) criteria as shown<br />

in Figure 21, the voltage at any load bus should not dip below 20% <strong>of</strong> the initial value <strong>f<strong>or</strong></strong><br />

m<strong>or</strong>e than 20 cycles.<br />
