Earlier studies have indicated the feasibility of equipping STATCOM with a supplementary controller to act as a damper for power swings. The paper outlines a STATCOM controller model and residue-based tuning method for its supplementary controller. The paper also demonstrates the performance of the developed model in suppressing observable and controllable modes of electromechanical oscillations in a 2-area power system. %Z cited By 0; Conference of 4th IASTED Asian Conference on Power and Energy Systems, AsiaPES 2008 ; Conference Date: 2 April 2008 Through 4 April 2008; Conference Code:75519
