STATCOM Analysis resolving Power Quality issues in Power Transmission System - A Literature Survey

With the rapid development and advancement of power electronics devices in recent years changing the scenario in the field of controlling and handling the power quality issues or problems very effectively. FACTS devices are the great examples of these. So in this paper we can choose one such FACTS device known as STATCOM a powerful shunt controller, for discussing its impact and depth how to tackle the power quality issues by reviewing the past literature published on the various types and configurations of STATCOM generally current source inverter based or voltage source inverter based, adopting different techniques and configurations in order to reduces harmonics and improved dynamic performance.
