Recently Advanced Static Var Compensators(ASVC) or STATic Synchronous COMpesator(STATCOM) has been considered as a next generation reactive power controller. The STATCOM is a voltage source inverter(VSI) based on the static VAr compensator with only small capacitors on the dc side. The main function of the STATCOM is to keep the bus voltage magnitude at the desired value. This paper compared the PAM STATCOM with the PWM STATCOM. The characteristics and the control method of each model is analyzed. And the simulation of STATCOMs based on the above two methods is presented.

In HVDC converters that employ a line-commutated control, reactive power is absorbed by the rectifier and inverter terminals during AC/DC conversion. An AC filter usually consists of filters and large shunt capacitors to supply reactive power to the HVDC station. When STATCOM is used to supply reactive power to the HVDC system with AC filter, the low-order harmonics generated from STATCOM can result in a resonance between the shunt capacitor and AC network. Therefore, a control strategy based on selective harmonic elimination is adopted to minimize the low-order harmonics from STATCOM. The cancellation of harmonic instabilities is verified through simulations in PSCAD/EMTDC.

일반적으로 BTB STATCOM은 계통 분리 운전이나 이종계통의 연계 등의 목적으로 이용한다. 기본 구성으로는 두 대의 STATCOM을 직렬로 연결하여 계통에 삽입되며, 구조 및 개념상 HVDC와 유사한 특징을 갖고 있다. 본 논문에서는 국내에서는 처음으로 독자 개발에 성공한 STATCOM의 기술을 바탕으로 BTB STATCOM의 제어 알고리즘을 설계하고, PSCAD/EMTDC를 이용하여 BTB STATCOM의 모델링 및 계통 연계 모의를 수행하였다. 모델링 및 모의를 통하여 설계 및 개발한 BTB STATCOM의 제어 알고리즘이 정상동작하며, 성공적으로 BTB STATCOM의 역할을 수행할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

In this paper, the RCF method is applied to analyze small signal stability of power systems including GTO controlled parallel FACTS equipments such as STATCOM. To apply the RCF method in power system small signal stability problems, state transition equations of generator, controllers and STATCOM are presented. In eigenvalue analysis of power systems, STATCOM is modelled as the equivalents voltage source model and the PWM switching circuit model. As a result of simulation, the RCF method is very powerful to calculate the oscillation modes exactly after the switching operations, and useful to analyze the small signal stability of power systems with periodically operated switching devices such as STATCOM.

This paper describes dynamic performance analysis of a STATCOM based on 3-level inverter. Major attention is focused on the controller design for 3-level inverter, including regulator design for voltage sharing across the dc link capacitors. A detailed simulation model was developed with Matlab and a scaled hardware model was built and tested to verify the proposed approach. Both simulation and experimental results confirm that the developed controller can regulate the reactive power. The developed controller could be effectively applied to the actual hardware system for STATCOM.

This paper presents a novel power-factor correction method using customer STATCOM which generally improves the power quality of electric customers. Customer STATCOM detects the reactive currents of a induction motor(IM) and so injects compensation currents which is in 180$^{\circ}$ phase with load currents that the reactive power of IM is compensated. In particular, the paper proposes the general compensation current references in the synchronous coordinate system and makes converter output voltages using space-vector PWM. The compensation effect of customer STATCOM is confirmed through the simulation according to the operation condition of an induction motor (at no load and full load).

STATCOM can compensate industrial load's reactive power and filter the harmonic of nonlinear load's with the rapid dynamic response. In this paper, STATCOM is modelled to synchronous rotating coordinate by circuit dq transformation, and space vector PWM method is applied for broad voltage modulation.
