This paper examines the application of high voltage static var compensator(SVC) with cascade multilevel inverter which employs H-bridge inverter(HBI). A new switching scheme is developed for the SVC system. To improve the unbalanced problem of the DC capacitor voltages, the rotated switching scheme of fundamental frequency is newly used. The optimized fundamental switching pattern with low switching frequency is adapted to be suitable for high application. The selective harmonic elimination method(SHEM) allows to keep the total harmonic distortion(THD) low in the output voltage of multilevel inverter. The SVC system is modeled using the d-q transform which calculates the instantaneous reactive power. This model is used to design a controller and analyze the SVC system. Simulated and experimental results are also presented and discussed to validate the proposed schemes.

A synchronous solid-state var compensator(SSVC) system which employs a three-phase neutral-point-darned (NPC) inverter is presented and analyzed for high voltage and high power applications. The proposed SSVC system can compensate for leading and lagging displacement factor. An optimal pulse-width-modulation (PWM) is used as a means of reducing the size of reactive components. A equivalent model is obtained using DQ-transform, and the characteristic of open-loop system are archived from DC and AC analyzes. A $\alpha$ phase-shift control is suggested using a self-controlled dc bus.

This paper examines the application of high voltage static var compensator(SVC) with cascade multilevel inverter which employs H~bridge inverter(HBI). The SVC system is modeled using the d-q transform which calculates the instantaneous reactive power. This model is used to design a controller and analyze the SVC system. From the mathematical model of the system, the design procedures of the circuit parameters Land C are presented in this thesis. To meet the specific total harmonic distortion(THD) and ripple factor of the capacitor voltage, the circuit parameters Land C are designed. Simulated and experimental results are also presented and discussed to validate the proposed schemes.

To improve the voltage profile of the load bus, it is important that the coordinated controls among the reactive power compensators at the distribution substation. However, the conventional control scheme of the Under Load Tap Changer (ULTC) is not proper for coordinate control with Static Var Compensator (SVC). This paper proposes a new control model for ULTC and a new coordinated control scheme between ULTC and SVC. The numerical simulation verifies that the proposed system could improve the voltage profile on the load bus and could decrease the number of ULTC tap operation.

전력산업은 친환경 신재생 에너지 자원의 증대, 국가간 에너지 교류 등 고성능 대용량 전력전자 응용분야 기기의 필요성이 지속적으로 확대되고 있다. 신규 AC 송전선로 건설이 민원 등의 사유로 건설에 장시간 소요되고, 건설단가의 지속적 증가 및 전력전자 설비의 가격하락(HVDC, FACTS 등 특수설비의 국산화 추진) 등으로 AC 송전선로 신규건설 보다는 송전선로 조류제어로 전력계통 유연성 향상이 필요하게 되었으며, 향후 융통전력의 한계, 전력수요 포화 및 Smart Grid 시대를 대비하여 기존 송전선로의 이용을 극대화하는 방향으로 계통계획의 방향 전환이 더욱 급속도로 진행될 전망이다. 본 논문에서는 최첨단 무효전력보상장치 소개와 계통안정화를 위한 전력계통 영향분석을 통해 직 병렬 FACTS의 필요성을 소개하고자 한다.

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.

To cope with increasing power demand in metropolitan area, the power system in Korea has equipped with unit generator of large capacity, high density and uneven distribution, and transmission line of long distance, large capacity and high voltage. As the power system growing up enormous, it has become difficult to maintain the standard voltage in case of radical fluctuation of load or severe change of voltage by power system fault for its weakness of responsive characteristics although the power condenser has been installed to solve the unstability by lack of reactive power. Consequently, we review harmonic wave production and control characteristics to solve unstability problem of voltage in northern metropolitan, to reduce transmission restriction cost and to minimize load shedding by relocation of SVC (Static Var Compensator), which is highly effective for improvement of responsive characteristics for radical voltage fluctuation.

In recent years, integration of new distributed generation (DG) technology in distribution networks has become one of the major management concerns for professional engineers. This paper presents a dynamic methodology of optimal allocation and sizing of DG units for a given practical distribution network, so that the cost of active power can be minimized. The approach proposed is based on a combined Genetic/Fuzzy Rules. The genetic algorithm generates and optimizes combinations of distributed power generation for integration into the network in order to minimize power losses, and in second step simple fuzzy rules designs based upon practical expertise rules to control the reactive power of a multi dynamic shunt FACTS Compensator (SVC, STATCOM) in order to improve the system loadability. This proposed approach is implemented with the Matlab program and is applied to small case studies, IEEE 25-Bus and IEEE 30-Bus. The results obtained confirm the effectiveness in sizing and integration of an assigned number of DG units.
