Abstract — This paper describes an approach to design a damping con-
troller of an energy storage type STATCOM. The energy storage type
STATCOM (ESTATCOM) is an advanced flexible ac transmission sys-
tem (FACTS) device, which controls both reactive and active power in-
jection/absorption to the power system. It also provides a better power
swing damping. Using a linearized block diagram proposed by the authors,
the present study examines the design of the ESTATCOM damping con-
troller. Several case studies have been performed to evaluate the power
swing damping effect of the ESTATCOM on one-machine infinite bus sys-
tem. The results of the study show that an ESTATCOM, which controls
both reactive and active power injection/absorption to power system, has a
more significant effect on power swing damping than that controlling the
reactive power alone.

I. INTRODUCTION
IN recent years, the electric power system has grown in size
and complexity with a huge number of interconnections to
meet the increase in the electric power demand. Moreover, the
role of long distance and large power transmission lines become
more important. However, the constructions of new transmis-
sion lines are becoming difficult due to economical, social and
environmental problems.On the basis of the above background, many flexible ac trans-
mission system (FACTS) technologies have been developed.
Furthermore, as a typical FACTS device, static synchronous
compensators (STATCOMs) have been developed and put into
operation to maintain voltage and to improve the power swing
damping by reactive power control [1]-[2]. In other words, a
STATCOM can be used to enhance the power quality provided
to consumers by decreasing voltage flicker and correcting small
voltage sags. Also, it has been shown that a STATCOM with
a new controller can be used to handle unbalanced voltages in
distribution power systems [4]. As an example of insertion of
STATCOM into a power system, a STATCOM is currently in-stalled at Inuyama Switching Substation in Japan and the Sul-
livan Substation of the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) for
transmission line compensation [3][5].
The active power injection/absorption control function has bet-
ter performance for the power swing damping and can improve
the transient stability. But STATCOM itself cannot control the

active power injection/absorption to power system. A STAT-
COM with energy storage system can control both the reactive
and the active power injection/absorption, thus providing more
flexible power system operation [6]. Recently, the development
of high output energy storage devices have made it possible to
generate or absorb the active power. As an illustration, it has
been shown that a STATCOM with SMES as energy storage
source can be very effective in damping power system oscil-
lations [7]. As energy storage devices, the authors have consid-
ered advanced batteries and an ECS (energy capacitor system;advanced electric double layer). In this paper, the authors call
the STATCOM with energy storage function an ESTATCOM.
This paper presents a newly developed linearized block dia-
gram of a power system with an ESTATCOM which represents
the dynamics of power system. A design method for the damp-
ing controller of the ESTATCOM using the linearized block di-
agram was described. Several simulations have been done to
show the effect of the designed ESTATCOM damping controller
on the power system oscillation stability. The active and reactive
power responses of the compensator to oscillations were also es-
timated.

A. Model of ESTATCOM
As can be seen in Fig. 1, the ESTATCOM is represented by
a current source for both active and reactive compensator. The
damping controllers of the active and the reactive current con-
trol the output of each current source separately. Each damping
controller consists of a detector of input signal, a filter, a phase
compensator, a gain and a limiter.

As illustrated in Fig. 2, the voltage deviation signal ∆E mat the bus where ESTATCOM is connected and the active power
flow deviation signal ∆P L on the transmission line were consid-
ered as input signals.
B. Model of Power system
Figure 3 shows the power system used in this study. In this
model, the infinite bus is represented by a constant source volt-
age having a constant frequency. An ESTATCOM is connected
to the bus N2 between the generator terminals and the infinite
bus. In this figure, the reactance of the line from the generatorterminals to the bus N2 is xe1 and the reactance of the line from
the bus N2 to the infinite bus is xe2. The resistance of the line is
neglected. The terminal voltage and the phase voltage are illus-
trated in the figure.
The exciter system of the generator is shown in Fig. 4. It is a
typical thyristor exciter system. The control constants are given
in TABLE V. The power system stabilizer is not applied.

III. LINEARIZED BLOCK DIAGRAM OF POWER SYSTEM
WITH ESTATCOM
A linearized block diagram, which represents the dynamic be-
haviors of the power system with an ESTATCOM, has been de-
veloped to design the damping controller of the ESTATCOM
and to analyze the dynamics of the system. The newly devel-
oped linearized block diagram is obtained by extending Heffron
and Phillips model [8][9] which represents the dynamics of a
synchronous machine, including the dynamics of the ESTAT-
COM [10]-[12]. The outline about Heffron and Phillips model
is given in Appendix B. To develop a linearized block diagram,
the following assumptions were made.
(1) Initial value of each current from the ESTATCOM is zero.
(2) Phase and magnitude of the voltage behind xd is assumed
to remain constant just after disturbance.
According to Heffron and Phillips model, the deviation of the
bus voltage ∆E m at N2 may be expressed as
∆E m = K 7∆δ + K 8∆ψfd (1)
where ∆δ is deviation of rotor angle, ∆ψfd is deviation of field
flux linkages. From Eq. (1), K 7 and K 8 are the sensitivity con-
stants, the so called K constants, and are given by the following
equations,
K 7 = emd0

and

where each symbol is defined in Appendix A.
As can be seen in Fig. 1, both active and reactive compensators
of the ESTATCOM are represented by a current source. So, the
system with an ESTATCOM is expressed by an equivalent cir-
cuit as shown in Fig. 5.
The relationship between the voltage deviations ∆E m, ∆E Tand the injected reactive current ∆I Q from ESTATCOM are ex-
pressed as follows.
∆E m = K Q1∆I Q (4)
∆E T = K Q2∆I Q (5)
Since E is constant just after disturbance, using Eq. (4), the
deviation active power output ∆P e from generator is,
∆P e = xe2

E sin(δ − δ m0)∆I Q = K Q3∆I Q (6)

lows,

Injecting only a small active current ∆I P from an ESTATCOM,
the voltage deviations ∆E T, ∆E m and the deviation of active
power output ∆P L from the generator are given,
∆E m = K P1∆I P (10)
∆E T = K P2∆I P (11)
∆P e = K P3∆I P (12)
where K P1, K P2, K P3 are given by the following expressions,
K P1 = E m0

Combining the above equations, a linearized block diagram is
obtained which expresses the dynamic behaviors of the powersystem with an ESTATCOM, as seen in Fig. 6. Figure 6 shows
an example of the developed model where the voltage deviation
signal ∆E m of N2 and the active power flow deviation ∆P L of
the transmission line are used as the input signal for the ESTAT-
COM damping controllers.

B. Out line of design method
In this paper, the feedback control theory is applied to de-
sign the damping control system for the ESTATCOM shown in
Fig. 1. The outline is described as follows.
The change in electrical torque of a synchronous machine ∆T e
can be resolved into two components:
∆T e = T S∆δ + T D∆ω (16)
where T S∆δ is the component of the torque change in phase
with the rotor angle perturbation ∆δ and is referred as the syn-
chronizing torque component and T D∆ω is the component of
the torque change in phase with the speed deviation ∆ω and is
referred as the damping torque component .
As illustrated in Fig. 7, a positive damping torque component
represents the decay of oscillation. The larger is its magnitude,
the faster is the decay. On the other hand, a negative damping
torque component represents instability.
To provide damping, the ESTATCOM must produce a com-ponent of electrical torque from ESTATCOM ∆T EST in phase
with the rotor speed deviation ∆ω. However, as shown in Fig. 6,
the torque ∆T Ex is influenced due to the current from the ES-
TATCOM by the coefficient K P2 and K Q2. The compensa-
tion for the phase of the ESTATCOM’s damping controller also
changes the torque component of ∆T Ex.
The damping controller of the ESTATCOM should have an
optimal phase compensation for both torque ∆T Ex and torque
∆T EST to generate a good damping torque component.

phase compensator in the damping controller of ESTATCOM
were determined. In addition, concerning the capacity of the
ESTATCOM output, the limiter values and the gain of the damp-ing controllers were determined. The parameters of the damping
controller for the ESTATCOM are shown in TABLE III.
Figure 8 illustrates the comparison of change in electrical
torque ∆T e of a synchronous machine in case of applying each
control scheme at 1 Hz region of power swing. The case where
the ESTATCOM is not introduced into the power system is de-
noted as Case 0. In this case, the damping torque is negative, so
the amplitude of the power swing may increase.
As shown in Fig. 8, controlling the ESTATCOM can add a

positive damping torque component. Case 1 and Case 2 repre-
sent a situation where the ESTATCOM only controls the reac-
tive power injection/absorption. In Case 1, the voltage devia-
tion ∆E m at N2 is used as the input signal for the ESTATCOM
damping controller. This case results in a slight increase in the
damping torque. In Case 2, the active power flow deviation ∆P Lof the line is used as the input signal for the ESTATCOM. In
this case, the damping torque is improved compared with Case1. However, the effect of damping may be insufficient.
In Case 3, the ESTATCOM controls both active and reactive
power injection/absorption to the bus where an ESTATCOM
is installed. In this case, the active power injection/absorption
is controlled by ∆P L signal and the reactive power injec-
tion/absorption is controlled by ∆E m signal. As shown in
Fig. 8, in Case 3, the damping component of the torque ∆T eis significantly increased compared with Case 1 and Case 2.
Hence, installing an ESTATCOM in a power system is expected
to provide a large damping effect.
V. CONFIRMATION OF POWER SWING DAMPING

Fig. 9 at a time of 1.0 sec and to be cleared 70 msec after fault
occurrence.
B. Operating condition of ESTATCOM during disturbance
In this simulation, the ESTATCOM is considered to stop its
operation when the voltage of the bus E m where the ESTAT-
COM is connected becomes lower than a preset threshold value.
On the other hand, the ESTATCOM is to restart after 30 msec
when the bus voltage recovers the preset threshold value. This
operating condition is shown in Fig. 10. In this figure, the preset
threshold value is set at 0.5 pu of the voltage E m.
C. Results of simulation
Digital simulation studies were performed to evaluate the ef-
fect of the ESTATCOM control schemes from the viewpoint of
improvement of power swing damping. A comparison among
four control schemes was given in TABLE II.
Figure 11 indicates the swing curves of the generator rotor
angle in the presence and in the absence of the ESTATCOM.
Moreover, in the presence of the ESTATCOM, three different
cases (Case 1, 2 and 3) were considered and compared with that
in the absence of the ESTATCOM. As can be seen in Fig. 11(a),
the oscillation damping slightly decreases by controlling the re-active power injection/absorption of a conventional STATCOM
where the deviation of voltage ∆E m at bus N2 is used as input
signal.
Figure 11(b) presents the swing curves of the generator rotor
angle in the case where the ESTATCOM only controls the reac-
tive power and the deviation of active power flow ∆P L of the
line is used as the input signal. In this case, for a same ES-
TATCOM, we can see that the damping effect is improved in
comparison with the case where the deviation of voltage ∆E mwas used as the input signal.
The swing curves of the generator rotor angle for an ESTAT-
COM controlling both active and reactive power are illustrated
in Fig. 11(c). From this figure, it can be seen that the ES-

TATCOM which controls both active and reactive power injec-
tion/absorption decreases the oscillation faster than that control-
ling only the reactive power injection/absorption.
The results of this simulation show that applying an ES-
TATCOM which controls both active and reactive power injec-
tion/absorption provides a stronger damping of oscillation than
applying a conventional STATCOM which controls only the re-
active power injection/absorption.

Fig. 12. Active and reactive power injection/absorption from ESTATCOM.
The active and reactive power responses of the compen-
sator to oscillations for an ESTATCOM controlling both active
and reactive power injection/absorption (Case 3) are given in
Fig. 12(a) and (b), respectively. From the waveforms exhibited
in Fig. 12(a), the capacity of injected electrical energy from the
ESTATCOM to stabilize the power system was found to be 50
MW·sec. This result shows that 50 MW·sec energy storage sys-
tem can improve the damping of 1000 MVA generator signifi-
cantly. For a same enhancement in oscillation damping, it seems
that the size of a 50 MW·sec-energy storage system which is to
be connected to the STATCOM is not so large compared to the
size of an energy storage system alone. In other words, as far as
the results of the present study are concerned, considering the
significant improvement of stability that the STATCOM-energy
storage combination can bring to a 1000 MVA-generator, the 50
MW·sec energy storage system may be cost-effective.
V I. CONCLUSIONS
This paper proposes a linearized block diagram of a power
system with an energy storage type STATCOM (ESTATCOM)
and the control schemes for the ESTATCOM. The ESTAT-
COM, which controls both reactive and active power injec-
tion/absorption, has a more significant effect on the oscillation
damping compared to that controlling only the reactive power
injection/absorption. From the active and reactive power re-
sponses of the compensator to oscillations for an ESTATCOM, it
was found that the necessary energy storage capacity to improve
the power swing damping is not so large, thus the additional cost
for the energy storage system is expected to be small.
