This paper deals with the performance analysis of static compensator (STATCOM) based voltage regulator for self excited induction generators (SEIGs) supplying balanced/unbalanced and linear/non linear loads. A threephase insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) based current controlled voltage source inverter (CC-VSI) known as STATCOM is used for harmonic elimination. It also provides the requi...

in this paper power system stability enhancement through static synchronous compensator (statcom)based controller is investigated. the potential of the statcom supplementary controllers to enhance thedynamic stability is evaluated. the design problem of statcom based damping controller is formulatedas an optimization problem according to the eigenvalue based objective function that is solved by...

This paper presents a novel impedance-based approach for out-of-step (OOS) protection of a synchronous generator. The most popular and commonly used approaches for detecting OOS conditions are based on the measurement of positive sequence impedance at relay location. However, FACTS devices change the measured impedance value and thus disrupt the performance of impedance-based relay function. In...

To assess superior vena caval (SVC) obstruction after the Mustard operation for transposition of the great arteries, we performed two-dimensional contrast echocardiography (2-D contrast echo) in 18 patients, ages 1-9 years. Sterile saline was injected into a peripheral scalp or arm vein while the junction of the inferior vena cava (IVC) and the systemic venous atrium (SVA) was imaged from the s...

In the current power system much concentration is given to the efficient transmission of power from generator side to load end with minimum power loss. To achieve this, the newly introduced FACTS technology is being used. FACTS device such as STATCOM (static synchronous compensator) is used in this paper, for the efficient power transfer between transmission lines. To enhance the loadability of...

−− At present, the advance of technology makes possible to include new energy storage devices in the electric power system. In addition, with the aid of power electronics devices, it is possible to independently exchange active and reactive power with the utility grid. This allows to perform a more effective primary frequency control and also to reduce the reserve power of generators. In this a...

Abstract-The STATCOM (STATic synchronous COMpensator) is increasingly popular in Power System applications. In general, power factor and stability of the utility system can be improved by STATCOM.Specially, STATCOM can stabilize a given node voltage and compensate the power factor of the system and also load by that node. The steady state and dynamic performance of STATCOM are very critical to ...

In Distribution Network, Distribution Static Synchronous Compensator (D-STATCOM) can stabilize turn-on point voltage, effectively reduce the transmission losses in power, improve the power factor and prevent the non-linear load. But under the circumstance of the dand q-axis, D-STATCOM is a non-linear and strong coupling system, so decoupling control is very useful, that is because the decouplin...

-This paper reports on the real-time simulation of a 48-pulse GTO STATCOM static compensator with RT-LAB Electrical System Simulator using Linux PC-based, multiprocessor technology. The power system has 3 buses and 3 transmission lines and is modeled with SimPowerSystems blockset for Simulink and specialized GTO models that provide an effective method to handle the large number of switches in t...
