Static Synchronous Series Compensator (SSSC) and its Challenge for

Because of the high penetration in Colombia of non-conventional sources such as wind and photovoltaic generation, and the low growth of the electrical transmission network, some transmission lines may become overloaded. Therefore, innovative projects in series compensation are being implemented on the northern coast of Colombia through power electronics-based equipment called SSSC (Static Synchronous Series Compensator). By injecting voltage and/or current into a circuit in service, a series compensation can be generated either to reduce or increase power.
