In this paper, a static var compensator using PWM Cuk AC-AC converter is presented. The PWM Cuk AC-AC converter is modelled by using complex circuit DQ transformation whereby the basic condition to be used as a var compensator is derived and the static characteristic equations such as input current and reactive power is analytically obtained. Finally, the PSIM simulations show the validity of the modelling and analysis.

In this paper, instantaneous reactive power compensation algorithm is proposed and analyzed. The static Var generator developed in this paper is the current source PWM converter using hysteresis comparator method, which compensates the reactive power by detecting each instantaneous phase voltage and line current, independently. Some aspects on the static Var compensator-such as inductance, capacitance, hysteresis width, and switching frequency, etc.-are discussed. The dynamic performances are examined through digital simulation and experimental test.

Improving grid connection of wind farms is a relevant issue to be addressed, especially for fixed-speed wind turbines. Certain elements, such as FACTS (Flexible AC Transmission Systems), are able to perform voltage and reactive power regulation in order to support voltage stability of wind farms, and compensate reactive power consumption from the grid. Several devices are grouped under the name of FACTS, which embrace different technologies and operating principles. Here, three of them are evaluated and compared, namely STATCOM (Static Synchronous Compensator), SVC (Static Var Compensator) and SSSC (Static Synchronous Series Compensator). They have been modeled in MATLAB/Simulink, and simulated under various scenarios, regarding both normal operation and grid fault conditions. Their response is studied together with the case when no FACTS are implemented. Results show that SSSC improves the voltage stability of the wind farm, whereas STATCOM and SVC provide additional reactive power.

In the paper, velocity controller of switching module and temperature controller for the high-voltage static var compensator are proposed. Because of the continuous increase in demand for electric power, transmission and distribution facilities of power plant are required. There is a bottleneck problem of transportation routes according to new construction and expansion of power transmission facilities. Therefore there are researches to maximize the utilization of existing facilities and to increase transmission capacity without new construction. The previous static var compensator detects voltage of input circuit of power, switches the SCR directly and generates switching noise. The proposed method increases switching velocity and decreases noise using switching control based on the voltage between both sides of SCR. Also the proposed method enhance the stability using realtime temperature control for heating of the system from increase of switching velocity. We experiment the velocity and temperature control of the proposed high-voltage static var compensator in the real environment and verify the performance of the proposed system by applying in the real field.

With the propagation and spread of the new regeneration energy and increase in electricity demand, power systems tend to be decentralized, and accordingly, the use of a power system stabilizer tends to expand for the stabilization of the distribution system. Thus, typical power system stabilizer, Static Var Compensator (SVC) is developed on a variety of topologies. In addition, the trend of technology leads from SVC to Static Synchronous Compensator(STATCOM) technology development. Recently, to overcome STATCOM's conversion losses and economic disadvantages, studies of a hybrid method using STATCOM and SVC in parallel have actively been conducted. This study proposes a new Soft-Step Switching method to limit inrush current problematic in Thyristor Controlled Capacitor (TCC) method in SVC function. In addition, to reduce Statcom's capacity, groups of reactive power compensation reactor and condenser for SVC were designed.

This paper presents the steady-state analysis of the three-phase self-excited induction generator (SEIG). The three-phase SEIG with a squirrel cage rotor is driven by a variable-speed prime mover (VSPM) or a constant-speed prime mover (CSPM) such as a wind turbine or a micro gas turbine. Furthermore, a PI closed-loop feedback voltage regulation scheme of the three-phase SEIG driven by a VSPM on the basis of the static VAR compensator (SVC) is designed and evaluated for the stand-alone AC and DC power applications. The simulation and experimental results prove the practical effectiveness of the additional SVC with the PI controller-based feedback loop in terms of its fast responses and high performances

In this paper, the steady-state analysis of the three-phase self-excited induction generator (SEIG) driven by a variable-speed prime mover (VSPM) such as a wind turbine is presented. The steady-state torque-speed characteristics of the VSPM are considered with the three-phase SEIG equivalent circuit for evaluating the operating performances due to the inductive load variations. Furthermore, a PI closed-loop feedback voltage regulation scheme based on the static VAR compensator (SVC) for the three-phase SEIG driven by the VSPM is designed and considered for the wind power generation conditioner. The simulation and experimental results prove the practical effectiveness of the additional SVC with the PI controller-based feedback loop in terms of fast response and high performances.
