The wind power is known as the most promising future energy source to obtain the electricity Induction generator is a simple energy conversion unit in the wind power generation system but it consumes the reactive power from the interconnected power system. Switched capacitor banks are normally used to compensate the reactive power, which bring about the transient overvoltage. This paper proposes a method for compensating the reactive power with STATCOM. A detail simulation model for analyzing the interaction between the wind power system and the commercial power system was developed using EMTDC software. The developed simulation model can be effectively utilized to plan the reactive power compensation for newly designed wind power system.

The STATCOM(Static Compensator) resulted from the FACTS technology can generate or absorb reactive power rapidly so as to increase the transient stability and voltage stability. In this paper, effects of application of the STATCOM to the power system are analyzed from a viewpoint of improving voltage stability. The voltage stability is analyzed by use of repeated power flow method. The IPLAN, which is a high level language used with PSS/E program, is employed for evaluating the voltage stability.

Reactive power support is considered to be necessary for dealing with a voltage stability issue with wind turbine system employing squirrel-cage induction generator(SCIG). This paper analyses steady-state characteristics of the SCIG wind turbine system by simulating torque-slip characteristics of SCIG with respect to variations of interconnecting network strength and generator terminal voltage. It also presents dynamics analysis of SCIG wind turbine system on Simulink to investigate the impact of static var compensator(SVC) and static synchronous compensator(STATCOM) on transient stability enhancement. It analysed transient stability with varying fault duration times and compared the transient stability characteristics with varying rated capacities of SVC and STATCOM. It is shown that the STATCOM has a better performance and reactive power support compared to SVC.

신재생에너지의 보급 확산과 전력수요의 증가에 따라 전력계통이 분산화되는 추세이며 이에 따라 배전계통의 안정화를 위한 전력계통 안정화 장치(Power System Stabilizer)로 그 사용이 확대되고 있는 추세이다. 따라서 대표적인 전력계통 안정화 장치인 정지형 무효전력보상장치(SVC: Staic Var Compensator)에 대한 다양한 토폴로지로 개발되고 있다. 또한 기술의 트랜드는 SVC에서 Statcom 기술 개발로 이어지고 있다. 최근 Statcom의 변환손실 및 경제적 단점을 극복하기 위해 Statcom과 SVC를 병렬로 사용하는 Hybrid 방식에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 SVC 기능에서 TCC(Thyristor Controlled Capacitor)방식에서 문제가 되는 돌입전류 제한을 위한 새로운 Soft-Step Switching 방식을 제안한다. 또한 Statcom의 용량을 줄이기 위해 SVC용 무효전력 보상 리액터 및 콘덴서 군을 설계하였다.

This paper elucidates a hysteresis current controller for enhancing the performance of static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) using cascaded H-bridge multilevel inverter. Due to the rising power demand and growing conventional generation costs a new alternative in renewable energy source is gaining popularity and recognition. A five level single phase cascaded multilevel inverter with two separated dc sources, which is energized by photovoltaic - wind hybrid energy source. The voltages across the each dc source is balanced and standardized by the proposed hysteresis current controller. The performance of STATCOM is analyzed by connecting with grid connected system, under the steady state & dynamic state. To reduce the Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) and to improve the output voltage, closed loop hysteresis current control is achieved using PLL and PI controller. The performance of the proposed system is scrutinized through various simulation results using matlab/simulink and hardware results are also verified with simulation results.

Transmission System Operators are governed by operational security standards that are applied in real time. During system disturbances, the System Operators must rely on the installed protection and control equipment, prior to human intervention. New power electronic solutions bring rapid and repeatable responses to disturbances, which will help System Operators to guarantee a stable system. Last year, Alstom completed the world's first competitively bid STATCOM to support the voltage on National Grid's 400kV network that supplies London and the Southeast from the north of the UK. It is rated ${\pm}75MVAr$ and forms part of a Static Var System (SVS) with a total rating of 0 to 225MVAr. This paper will describe the reasons for its size, location, its chain-link configuration and give examples of its operating performance. The paper will also describe the features that allow this STATCOM to deliver much more than reactive compensation in support of a wider transmission service objective, as system conditions require.

This paper proposes a control algorithm for STATic synchronous COMpensator(STATCOM), based on Space Vector Modulation(SVM) and Hysteresis Current Controller(HCC) techniques. STATCOM is used to reactive power compensation on a distribution network. The proposed algorithm utilizes the advantages of the fast dynamic response of the hysteresis current control and the reduced switching number of the SVM scheme. The controller determines a set of space vectors from a region detector and applies a space vector. A set of space vectors including the zero vector, to reduce the number of switching, is determined from output signals of two hysteresis comparators. The presented control system was tested with digital simulation in the Borland C++ program and demonstrate the advantage of the proposed hysteresis current controller.
