The static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) is one type of FACTS devices which resembles in many respects a rotating synchronous condenser used for voltage control and reactive power compensation. The STATCOM can increase transmission capacity, damping low frequency oscillation, and improving voltage stability. This paper presents a control block diagram of STATCOM for the voltage stability im...

Long distance AC transmission is often subject to stability problems, which limits the transmission Capability. Large interconnected power systems often suffer from weakly damped swings between synchronous generators and subsystems. This paper studies the comparative performance of SSSC and UPFC for the improvement of transient stability and damping of power swings of a multi-machine power syst...

The effect of the static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) on distance protection a high-voltage transmission line is studied in this article. To carry out research stated topic paper, an experimental scheme was developed, equipment selected, operation settings 3 stages were calculated and quad characteristics built their basis. All listed above, as well further experiments, carried by real tim...

A high-power low-distortion static var compensator based on a synchronous link converter has been proposed, where the harmonics are eliminated by incorporating a low-power insulated-gate-bipolar-transistor-based controlled current auxiliary converter in conjunction with a high-power gate-turn-off-thyristor-based converter. In this paper, a new load compensator based on this topology is proposed...

— This paper summarizes the main problems and solutions of power quality in Microgrids, distributed energy storage systems, and AC/DC hybrid Microgrids. First, power quality enhancement of grid-interactive Microgrids is presented. Then, cooperative control for enhance voltage harmonics and unbalances in Microgrids is reviewed. After, the use of static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) in grid-c...

With the growing penetration of distributed energy resources (DER), accompanying challenges have led utilities to limit hosting capacities DER installations on distribution feeders. A static synchronous compensator (DSTATCOM) is a power electronic device provide dynamic injections and absorption reactive into grid with more flexible reliable voltage control quality improvement. management syste...

Recent investigations have focused on the use of active phase imbalance schemes using series connected FACTS devices for subsynchronous resonance (SSR) and power swing damping. This paper compares the effectiveness of TCSC and SSSC based single phase compensation schemes with the corresponding three phase schemes. Controllability of swing modes as well as torsional modes is compared by using a ...
