One of the major causes of voltage instability is the reactive power limit of the system. Improving the system's reactive power handling capacity via Flexible AC transmission System (FACTS) devices is a remedy for prevention of voltage instability and hence voltage collapse. In this paper, the effects of SVC and STATCOM in Static Voltage Stability Margin Enhancement will be studied. AC and DC r...

In this modern world, the electrical power consumption is vast and its power system is complex and faces many challenges due to growing demand and construction of new lines. Transient stability is one of the main system insecurity when large disturbances occur. Here at first conventional shunt facts devices Static VAR Compensator (SVC), Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM)are used as an add...

Voltage Stability is a key factor for the stable operation of grid connected wind farm during fault through and grid disturbances. This paper investigates the implementation and comparison of FACTS devices like STATCOM and SVC for the voltage stability issue for IG-based wind farm connected to a grid and load. The steady state behaviour of an interconnected IG based wind farm with STATCOM and S...

In recent years, the doubly fed induction generators (DFIGs) are used in modern wind power plants. These generators have a large impact on the stability of power system. In this paper, we examine the stability of DFIG wind turbines with static synchronous compensator (STATCOM). Optimal tuning of STATCOM control Parameters is very important in order to proper Performance of STATCOM as a stabiliz...

In this paper performance analysis of various hybrid reactive power compensators (RPC’s) at the inverter AC sides of a line commutated converter (LCC) based multi-terminal HVDC (MTDC) transmission system, feeding weak AC networks, is carried out to thoroughly gather the mechanisms of interactions between an HVDC system and weak AC systems. The hybrid compensator is realized by equally mixing th...

With the development and advancement of power electronics devices in recent years, changes in the scenario in the field of controlling and handling the power quality issues have been very effective. FACTS devices are the outstanding approach. In this manuscript,we choose one such FACTS device known as STATCOM, a powerful shunt controller, for discussing its impact and depth how to tackle the po...

A current source converter (CSC) based static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) is a shunt flexible AC transmission system (FACTS) device, which has a vital role as a stability support for small and large transient instability in an interconnected power network. A robust linear quadratic regulator (LQR) based controller for CSCSTATCOM is proposed. In this paper, LQR based CSC-STATCOM is designe...

Urbanization is continuing around the world accompanied by a constantly growing demand for energy. For these reasons, new and efficient solutions for power transmission are required. To cope with these new challenges a novel SVC PLUS (Static Var Compensation SVC) for Reactive Power Compensation is designed and researched. SVC PLUS is an advanced STATCOM (Static Synchronous Compensator) with Mod...

Abstract: The use of the isolated hybrid power systems is being popular due to the continuous increasing gap between demand and supply of conventional energy sources and intermittent nature of non-conventional energy sources. Normally, the non-conventional energy source such as wind have induction generator to generate electricity but induction generators require reactive power for its operatio...

This paper proposes a flexible D-STATCOM (Distribution Static Compensator) and its new controller system, that be able to mitigate all types of faults (LG, DLG, LL, LLL and LLLG), and improve the distribution system performance. This paper validates the performance of D-STATCOM system to mitigate the power quality problems such as voltage flickers, voltage sags/swells harmonics and improve the ...
