The purpose of this paper is to explain improvement of voltage stability using STATCOM by active power margin and reactive power margin. STATCOM, the representative shunt compensator of the FACTS devices, is faster than machinery compensator in response speed and has the advantage of the small scale because it doesn't use reactor or large capacitor. In this paper, we investigated the compensatory effect of the STATCOM that applied to KEPCO system.

This paper presents the selection of optimal placement for STATCOM (Static synchronous Compensator) which is one of the FACTS (Flexible Alternating Current Transmission System) devices, considering line contingency. Line contingency ranking is gotten by using sensitivity of load margin. According to line contingency ranking line contingency was considered. And IOP (Index for selecting optimal Placement of STATCOM) is calculated by the variation of each bus's reactive mum for several line contingencies. The bus where has the biggest value of lOP is the most optimal placement to install STATCOM for voltage stability. IPLAN is used to program this part which get IOP. This study is carried out on the modified IEEE14 Bus Test System to confirm the efficiency of the method.

In this paper, we studied the control strategy of applying STATCOM(static synchronous compensator) to mitigate the FIDVR(fault induced delayed voltage recovery) phenomenon. The proportion of motor loads is gradually increasing which might affect power system stability. Excessive reactive power consumption by the stall of the motor loads causes FIDVR phenomenon. In addition, the low inertia of the small HVAC(heating, ventilation and air conditioner) unit will not separate itself in the event of a contingency, causing system instability. For this reason, we have developed a control strategy that utilizes STATCOM efficiently through static and dynamic analysis. Case studies on a Korean power system have validated the performance of the proposed scheme under severe contingency scenarios. The results have verified that the proposed strategy can effectively mitigate FIDVR and improve the stability and reliability of the system.

A static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) applied to rapidly changing, highly unbalanced loads such as electric arc furnaces (EAFs), requires both positive-sequence and negative-sequence current control, which indicates fast response characteristics and can be controlled independently. Furthermore, a delta-connected STATCOM with cascaded H-bridge configuration accompanying multiple separate DC-sides, should have high performance zero-sequence current control to suppress a phase-to-phase imbalance in DC-side voltages when compensating for unbalanced load. In this paper, actual EAF data is analyzed to reflect on the design of current controllers and a pioneering zero-sequence current controller with a superb transient performance is devised, which generates an imaginary -axis component from the presumed response of forwarded reference. Via simulation and experiments, the performance of the positive, negative, and zero-sequence current control of a cascaded H-bridge STATCOM for EAF is verified.

This paper presents the current limit strategy of voltage controller of delta-connected H-bridge static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) under an unbalanced voltage fault event. When phase to ground fault happens, the feasibility to heighten the magnitude of sagging phase voltage is considered by using symmetric transformation method in delta-structure STATCOM. And the efficiency to cover the maximum physical current limit of switching device is considered by using vector analysis method that calculate the zero sequence current for balancing the cluster energy in delta connected H-bridge STATCOM. The result is simple and obvious. Only positive sequence current has to be used to support the unbalanced voltage sag. Although the relationship between combination of the negative sequence voltage with current and zero sequence current is nonlinear, the more negative sequence current is supplying, the larger zero sequence current is required. From the full-model STATCOM system simulation, zero sequence current demand is identified according to a ratio of positive and negative sequence compensating current. When only positive sequence current support voltage sag, the least zero sequence current is needed.

In this paper a robust method is presented for the combined design of STATCOM and Power System Stabilizer (PSS) controllers in order to enhance the damping of the low frequency oscillations in power systems. The combined design problems among PSS and STATCOM internal ac and dc voltage controllers has been taken into consideration. The equations that describe the proposed system have been linearized and a Fuzzy Logic Controller (FLC) has been designed for the PSS. Then, the Particle Swarm Optimization technique (PSO) which has a strong ability to find the most optimistic results is employed to search for the optimal STATCOM controller parameters. The proposed controllers are evaluated on a single machine infinite bus power system with the STATCOM installed in the midpoint of the transmission line. The results analysis reveals that the combined design has an excellent capability in damping a power system's low frequency oscillations, and that it greatly enhances the dynamic stability of power systems. Moreover, a system performance analysis under different operating conditions and some performance indices studies show the effectiveness of the combined design.

본 논문에서는 정전류 부하모델 교류 전기철도 AT 급전시스템을 회로망 해석법(Loop Equation Method)을 이용하여 실제 급전시스템과 유사하게 제약조건을 두고 여러 경우를 가정하여 모델링 하였다. 이 방법을 통해 앞으로 건설될 고속 전기철도 급전시스템의 전력품질에 영향을 줄 수 있는 전압강하에 주안점을 두고 정상급전의 경우뿐만 아니라 연장급전의 경우를 새롭게 확대 해석하였으며 이 결과를 동적 시뮬레이션 프로그램인 PSCAD /EMTDC를 이용하여 그 정확성과 실용성을 검증하였다. 또한 사례연구를 통해 전압 보상기를 설치하지 않는 경우와 STATCOM을 설치한 경우의 전압강하 보상효과를 PSCAD/EMTDC로 시뮬레이션 하여 검증하였다.

풍력발전은 풍력단지가 전력계통과 접속되는 모선의 전압을 유지 또는 제어하기 위한 충분한 무효전력을 공급할 수 있어야 한다. 하지만 풍력단지와 계통 접속점(POI - Point of Interconnection) 모선을 연결하는 선로의 무효전력 손실 때문에 풍력터빈의 무효전력공급은 접속점의 전압을 제어하기에는 불충분하다. 이 문제는 접속점에 STATCOM(Static Synchronous Compensator)과 같은 부수적인 무효전력 보상장치를 설치하여 해결할 수 있다. 본 논문에서 제시하는 STATCOM과 Switched-Shunt, 탭변환 변압기와 같은 기존의 무효전력 보상장치의 협조제어를 사용하면 더욱 효과적으로 접속점 모선의 전압을 제어할 수 있다. 본 논문에서 제시한 방법을 이용하여 초기부하에 대하여 임의의 부하 변동률을 가지는 모의 시스템에 적용한 결과 접속점 모선의 전압강하는 60%이상 개선되었고 부하 모선의 전압은 정격전압의 95%이상을 유지하였다.

This study proposes a new topology for the performance test of a valve consisting of a modular multilevel converter (MMC)-based static synchronous compensator (STATCOM). The conventional valve performance test equipment requires high-voltage AC source of several kV rating because the number of submodules to be tested in a valve should be at least six or eight. However, the power source of the proposed scheme is DC and not AC source. The DC power source voltage range of the proposed test circuit is from several volts to several tens of volts. Therefore, the size and cost for the performance test equipment can be reduced considerably compared with the conventional method. The proposed scheme satisfies the requirements of the IEC 62927 standard. Simulations are conducted for a valve of 50[MVA] MMC-based STATCOM. Experimental results with a scale-downed setup show the validity of the proposed performance test topology.

This paper discussed a transformer-less shunt static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) with consideration of the following aspects: fast compensation of the reactive power, harmonic cancelation and reducing the unbalancing of the 3-phase source side currents. The STATCOM control algorithm is based on the theory of instantaneous reactive power (P-Q theory). A self charging technique is proposed to regulate the dc capacitor voltage at a desired level with the use of a PI controller. In order to regulate the DC link voltage, an off-line Genetic Algorithm (GA) is used to tune the coefficients of the PI controller. This algorithm arranged these coefficients while considering the importance of three factors in the DC link voltage response: overshoot, settling time and rising time. For this investigation, the entire system including the STATCOM, network, harmonics and unbalancing load are simulated in MATLAB/SIMULINK. After that, a 35KVA STATCOM laboratory setup test including two parallel converter modules is designed and the control algorithm is executed on a TMS320F2812 controller platform.
