In this paper, dynamic performance of a transformerless cascaded PWM static synchronous shunt compensator (STATCOM) based on a novel control scheme is investigated for bus voltage regulation in a 6.6kV distribution system. The transformerless STATCOM consists of a thirteen-level cascaded H-bridge inverter, in which each voltage source H-bridge inverter should be equipped with a floating and iso...

renewable energy sources like wind, sun, and hydro are considered as a reliable alternative to the traditional energy sources such as oil, natural gas, or coal. this paper describes modeling and simulations to determine a method for the power performance evaluation of autonomous wind turbine system. a speed control regulator is utilized to control the dc bus voltage. the inverter gate’s signals...

This paper discusses a shunt active ûlter intended for installation on a power distribution system. The active ûlter has an additional capability to regulate the distribution line voltage by means of adjusting reactive power. Theoretical analysis investigates the dynamic performance of combined harmonic damping and voltage regulation. As a result, harmonic damping makes it possible to improve t...

This paper presents a new technique for the voltage regulation of a radial medium voltage (MV) distribution grid in presence of distributed generation (DG) units. The proposed technique consists of the coordinated action of on-load tap changer (OLTC) of transformer and reactive power compensation by D-STATCOM. Managing the system voltage using the action of OLTC is one of the most common ways f...

Generators typically regulate terminal voltage via automatic voltage regulator and exciter equipment. The desired high side (transmission side) voltage schedule is usually maintained by the power plant operator or by slow SCADA-type process control computers. Power system dynamic performance, however, can be improved by faster regulation of the transmission voltage. Contrasted to generators, st...
