The problem of underdamped power oscillations in transmission systems is addressed in this paper. Different algorithms for \{STATCOM\} voltage control are designed to inject extra friction in order to eliminate such undesirable oscillating behaviour. In particular, a variable structure control law, combining continuous and discontinuous actions exhibits an especially good performance. The efficiency of the proposed control laws are tested and analysed through computer simulation.
