A static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) is generally used to regulate voltage and improve transient stability in transmission and distribution networks. This is achieved by controlling reactive power exchange between STATCOM and the grid. Unbalanced sags are the most common type of voltage sags in distribution networks. A static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) is generally used to maintain...

Kerr electro-optic technique has been used to measure the electric field distribution in high voltage stressed dielectric liquids, where the difference between refractive indices for light polarized parallel and perpendicular to the local electric field is a function of the electric field intensity. For transformer oil, the most widely-used insulating liquids in power apparatus and high voltage...

Voltage sensing technology is crucial in realizing distributed voltage at critical nodes of the power grid and providing key state variables to provide information support for control decisions. Among existing measurement methods, transformers have problems such as high insulation performance requirements limited installation locations. However, non-contact sensors designed based on electric fi...
