The superiority of CMI (Cascaded Multilevel Inverter) is unparalleled in high power and high voltage STATCOM (Static Synchronous Compensator). However, the parameters and operating conditions of each individual power unit composing the cascaded STATCOM differ from unit to unit, causing unit voltage disequilibrium on the DC side. This phenomenon seriously impairs the operation performance of STATCOM, and thus maintaining the DC voltage balance and stability becomes critical for cascaded STATCOM. This paper analyzes the case of voltage disequilibrium, combines the operation characteristics of the cascaded STATCOM, and proposes a new DC voltage control scheme with the advantages of good control performance and stability. This hierarchical control method uses software to achieve the total active power control and also uses chopper controllers to enable that the imbalance power can flow among the capacitors in order to keep DC capacitor voltages balance. The operating principle of the chopper controllers is analyzed and the implementation is presented. The major advantages of the proposed control strategy are that the number of PI regulators has been decreased remarkably and accordingly the blindness of system design and debugging also reduces obviously. The simulation reveals that the proposed control scheme can achieve the satisfactory control goals.

In this paper, we construct a Virtual D-STATCOM using a number of grid-connected inverters installed in solar and wind power plants and compensate the reactive power of the cable depending on the reactive power of the load of the power distribution system and the distance to the power distribution line We propose a method to compensate the reactive power of the PCC stage near the substation without installing the existing single large capacity D-STATCOM. The proposed method is verified by Matlab Simulink simulation and its operation principle and reactive power compensation.

STATCOM은 계통에 무효 전력을 공급함으로써 모선 전압을 유지시키는 역할을 한다. 따라서 발전기들의 회전자 위상각과 같은 유효전력과 관련된 계통 변수들의 제어 능력은 없다. 그러나 여자기에 PSS와 같은 제어기를 설치하여 발전기 회전자 진동을 제어하는 것처럼 STATCOM에도 이러한 제어기를 설치함으로써 부가적인 효과를 얻을 수 있다.

The study for improvement of power qualify is widely performed, because most equipments used semi-conductor are very sensitive for power quality. In this paper, we performed modeling for STATCOM system which developed using SCRs, and suggested the compensation principle of reactive Power by simulations used PSIM software. We will apply this results to 30kVA STATCOM under manufacturing.

In this paper a statcom is developed to improve the power quality in a dc traction system. The proposed statcom can be used as both inverter and active filter. As an active filter, it can compensate harmonic distortion and reactive power and as an inverter, it can recycle regenerative energy caused by decelerating trains. The simulation results are carried out by using PSCAD/EMTDC software.

본 논문은 전력계통의 과도상태에서의 STATCOM에 의해 제공되는 제동력을 평가한다. 기존의 논문들은 FACTS장비가 시스템의 안정도에 영향을 주는 제동력을 주로 고유치해석을 통하여 평가하였지만 본 논문은 에너지함수를 이용하여 FACTS장비에 의한 추가적인 제동력을 평가한다. 동기발전기의 상세모델링을 사용한 에너지함수를 통하여 STATCOM의 제동력이 전력계통의 과도 안정도에 미치는 영향을 시뮬레이션한다. 1기무한대모선 시스템에 적용한 결과를 보인다.

This paper describes an experimental results to analyze the dynamic characteristics of STATCOM, which is connected to the ac system for improving the voltage stability. The experimental results confirms that the scaled model for STATCOM operates correctly by the conceived control algorithm and properly compensates and regulates the bus voltage at the common connection point.

We fabricated 3-phase 380V 30KVA IGBT-type STATCOM for a medium-scale industrial customer. In this paper, we explain the basic operation of STATCOM. We propose the spec, of STATCOM and its control system and program configuration. Finally, we confirm the waveforms and results of an experiment on a 3-phase RLC load equivalent to the customer.
