345 Abstract—In this paper Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM) is used for voltage stability and the compensation of reactive power. The STATCOM contains an Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) based voltage source converter for voltage control and reactive power compensation. The STATCOM is used to control the reactive power with the voltage source converter in combination with a DC v...

this paper presents a systematic approach based on eigenstructure assignment to determine the mode shape and transient response of a STATCOM utilized as an exciter for induction generators (IG). A physical control scheme, including four control loops: ac voltage, dc voltage, ac active current and ac reactive current controllers, is pre-specified for the STATCOM. A synthetic algorithm is propose...

Recently, renewable wind energy is enjoying a rapid growth globally to become an important green electricity source to replace polluting and exhausting fossil fuel. The stability of fixed-speed induction generator (FSIG)-based wind turbines can be improved by a StatCom, which is well known and documented in the literature for balanced grid voltage dips and comparing with the variable speed perm...

Problem statement: Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM) and Static Synchronous Series Compensator (SSSC) have been individually applied to improve stability of power system. Approach: This study presents the coordination of a STATCOM and SSSC for improving power system stability. The swing curves of the three phase faulted power system with various cases are tested and compared. Results: Th...

In this paper, a nonlinear robust control approach is applied to design a controller for the Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM). A robust control dynamic model of STATCOM in a one-machine, infinite-bus system is established with consideration of the torque disturbance acting on the rotating shaft of the generator set and the disturbance to the output voltage of STATCOM. A novel recursive ...

Static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) is a shunt connected voltage source converter (VSC), which can affect rapid control of reactive flow in the transmission line by controlling the generated a.c. voltage. The main aim of the paper is to design a power system installed with a Static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) and demonstrates the application of the linearised Phillips-heffron model i...

This paper presents an analysis of the three-phase self-excited induction generator (SEIG) with staticcompensator {STATCOM) as a voltage regulator. Current controlled voltage source inverter (CC-VSI) is used as STATCOM, which provides fast dynamic response to maintain constant voltage at SEIG terminals during severe load perturbations and acts as a source and sink of reactive power. The perform...
