Abstract

This paper studies the integration of flywheel energy storage system (FESS) to a synchronous condenser (SC) and its effect on the stability margin of the power system. To show the applicability of FESS-integrated SC in mitigating sudden power loss and sudden load implementation, the experimental and simulation results are presented.
