description With the recent developments in renewable energy generation and addition of power electronic devices, power system dynamics have become extremely complex. One of the challenges faced due to this transition is the sub synchronous oscillations caused by the interaction of renewable energy sources and various components of the power grid. Recently reported incidents due to sub synchronous oscillations highlight the need of monitoring and suppression of these harmful oscillations in real time. This paper gives an overview of the phenomena of sub synchronous oscillations and discusses the existing monitoring and damping techniques along with their limitations. Further, it highlights the research trends along this path.
