1. Which of the following components is essential for the control and operation of an SSSC?
(a) Interfacing step-down transformer
(b) DC-DC converter
(c) Thyristor-switched capacitor
(d) Voltage source inverter

2. Which of the following is the correct statement?


(a) SSSC injects voltage in series only when there is some active power exchange between the
SSSC and the network.
(b) SSSC can inject variable current in shunt, thus can be represented by a shunt current source.
(c) A circuit breaker is connected to enhance the operation capability of SSSC under heavy
loading conditions
(d) In voltage control mode, the voltage injection of SSSC is independent of the line current
(up to its specified current rating).

3. What is the effect of capacitive operation of SSSC on the flow of power through the transmission
line?
(a) It increases the power flow
(b) It decreases the power flow
(c) It has no effect on the power flow
(d) It reduces power losses and does not affect the power flow.

4. In reactance control mode of the SSSC, keeping the SSSC impedance constant at maximum value,
(a) the injected voltage is independent of the SSSC current,
(b) the injected voltage inversely varies with the SSSC current
(c) the injected voltage varies linearly or inversely with the SSSC current, if the SSSC reactance
is inductive or capacitive, respectively
(d) the injected voltage linearly varies with the SSSC current

5. Which of the following is generally not the application of SSSC?


(a) Damping of power system oscillations
(b) Filtering out the power system harmonics
(c) Series reactive power compensation
(d) Damping of sub-synchronous resonance
6. The power reversal can occur in a transmission line due to SSSC under
(a) Capacitive operation, i.e. when the injected voltage is positive
(b) Inductive operation, i.e. when the injected voltage is negative
(c) Both capacitive as well as inductive operation
(d) The condition when voltage injection by SSSC is zero

7. Which of the following is true about the sub-synchronous resonance (SSR) in transmission lines?
(a) The SSR occurs due to the negative voltage injection (inductive operation) of SSSC.
(b) The SSR occurs due to the positive voltage injection (capacitive operation) of the SSSC.
(c) The SSR occurs due to series capacitor in a line with other reactive impedances present
in the network at various sub-synchronous frequencies.
(d) SSR occurs due to the interfacing step-down transformer of SSSC with the transmission line
capacitance, at power frequency.

8. What is the primary reason for using a Phase Locked Loop (PLL) in an SSSC control system?
(a) to regulate the DC voltage
(b) to synchronize SSSC with the grid
(c) to control the current flow
(d) to filter out harmonics

9. What is the impact of an SSSC on the damping of power oscillations in a transmission line?
(a) It has no impact on damping of the power oscillations.
(b) It reduces the damping of power oscillations.
(c) It enhances the damping of power oscillations.
(d) It completely avoids the occurrence of the power oscillations.

10. What is the primary function of the DC link capacitor in an SSSC?


(a) to filter AC harmonics
(b) to store active power
(c) to provide a stable DC voltage for the converter
(d) to balance reactive power
