Abstract
This paper presents the test and operation results of the domestic demonstration of the reactive power compensation device called STATCOM (STATic COMpensator). The object of the paper is to describe the reliability of the unit based on the extensive operation databases. The custom power is similar in nature to the concept of FACTS(Flexibel AC Transmission System). By controlling reactive power, the technology offers utilities the opportunity for increased efficiency and their capabilities will permit transmission planners make the best use of their existing transmission resources. STATCOM is a custom power device in a way and can be used in a similar way for the dynamic compensation of power transmission systems, providing reactive power compensation, voltage regulation and mitigation of voltage flicker. It is shown that the STATCOM has clear advantages in areas such as; providing reactive power compensation and improving power factor.
본 논문에서는 국내 최초로 설치된 Custom Power기기인 배전용 STATCOM(STATic COMpensator)의 기기 신뢰성 확보를 위힌 기가 테스트 및 설계통 운전 분석결과를 보이고 있다. Custom Power는 유연송전시스템(FACTS : Flexible AC Transmission System)과 같이 교류전력계통을 제어함으로써 효율적이고 유연한 전력계통의 운용과 구성을 목적으로 한다. STATCOM은 Custom Power기기의 한 형태로 무효전력 보상, 전압조정, 그리고 전압 퓰리커 억제 등의 기능을 가진다. 본 논문에서는 STATCOM 시운전 결과 무효전력과 역률 보상에서 우수한 성능을 보임을 확인할 수 있다.
