Recently Advanced Static Var Compensators(ASVC) or STATic Synchronous COMpesator(STATCOM) has been considered as a next generation reactive power controller. [2] STATCOM is a voltage source inverter(VSI) based static VAr compensator with only small capacitors on the do side. The main function of the STATCOM is to keep the bus voltage magnitude at the desired value. [1] This paper compares the PAM STATCOM with PWM STATCOM. The characteristics and the control method of each model is analyzed. And the simulation of STATCOMs based on the above two methods was presented.

Recently, we use a static synchronous compensator(STATCOM) with cascaded H-bride topologies, because it is easy to increase capacity and to reduce total harmonic distortion(THD). When we use equipment for reactive power compensation, dc-link voltage unbalances occur from several reasons although loads are balanced. In the past, switching pattern change of single phase inverter and reference voltage magnitude change of inverter equipped with power sensor have been used for dc-link voltage balance. But previous methods are more complicated and expensive because of additional component costs. Therefore, this paper explains reasons of dc-link voltage unbalance and proposes solution. This solution is complex method that is composed of reference voltage magnitude change of inverter without additional hardware and shifted phase angle of inverter reference voltages change. It proves possibility through 1000[KVA] system simulation.

This paper deals with a systematic approach to GA-PI controller design for static VAR compensator(SVC) using genetic algorithms(GAs) which are search algorithms based on the mechanics of natural of natural selection and natural genetics, to improve system stability. A SVC, one of the Flexible AC Transmission System(FACTS), constructed by a fixed capacitor(FC) and a thyristor controlled reactor(TCR), is designed and implemented to improve the damping of a synchronous generator, as well as controlling the system voltage. To verify the robustness of the proposed method, considered dynamic response of generator used deviation and generator terminal voltage by applying a power fluctuation and three-phase fault at heavy load, normal load and light load. Thus, we proved usefulness of GA-PI controller design to improve the stability of single machine-infinite bus with SVC system.

In this paper, it is suggested that the selection method of parameter of Power System Stabilizer(PSS) with robustness in low frequency oscillation for Static VAR Compensator(SVC) using a Real Variable Elitism Genetic Algorithm(RVEGA). A SVC, one of the Flexible AC Transmission System(FACTS), constructed by a fixed capacitor(FC) and a thyristor controlled reactor(TCR), is designed and implemented to improve the damping of a synchronous generator, as well as controlling the system voltage. The proposed PSS parameters are optimized using RVEGA in order to maintain optimal operation of generator under the various operating conditions. To decrease the computational time, real variable string is adopted. To verify the robustness of the proposed method, we considered the dynamic response of generator speed deviation and generator terminal voltage by applying a power fluctuation and three-phase fault at heavy load, normal load and light load. Thus, we prove the usefulness of proposed method to improve the stability of single machine-infinite bus with SVC system.

This paper presents a new stand-alone wind-based induction generator system with constant frequency and adjustable output voltage. The proposed generator consists of a six-phase cage-rotor induction machine with two separate three-phase balanced stator windings and a three-phase space vector pulse width modulation inverter that operates as a static synchronous compensator (STATCOM). The first stator winding is fed by the STATCOM and used to excite the machine while the second stator winding is connected to the generator external load. The main frequency of the STATCOM is determined to be constant and equal to the load-requested frequency. The generator output frequency is independent of the load power demand and its prime mover speed because the frequency of the induced emf in the second stator winding is the same as this constant frequency. A sliding mode control (SMC) is developed to regulate the generator output voltage. A second SMC is used to force the zero active power exchanged between the machine and the STATCOM. Some simulation and experimental results are presented to prove the validity and effectiveness of the proposed generator system.

Flicker, also known as voltage fluctuation, is a newest problem of power quality issues, because it is caused by nonlinear loads such as electrical arc furnace and large-scale induction motor, which are country-widely used as the heavy industries of a country develop. An international standard, International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 61000-4-15, was published in 1997 and revised in 2003. With increasing concerns about flicker, its mitigation methods have been also studied. General countermeasures for flicker are divided into three categories: a) enhancing the capacity of supplying system, b) Series elements including series reactor and series capacitor and c) power electronic devices including static VAR compensator (SVC) and static synchronous compensator (STATCOM). This paper introduces how to mitigate the voltage flicker at the point of common coupling (PCC) and presents how to simulate and compare the flicker alleviating effects by each mitigation method, using IEC flickermeter based on the Matlab/Simulink program.

풍력단지가 연계된 전력계통의 과도안정도를 보장하기 위해서는 전력계통과 풍력단지의 접속점에 풍력발전기가 충분한 무효전력을 공급할 수 있어야 한다. 하지만 개별의 풍력터빈은 안정도를 유지하기 위한 충분한 무효전력 공급능력을 가지지 못한다. 또한 풍력단지와 접속점 사이의 케이블은 리액턴스가 크고 이에 따른 무효전력 손실도 크다. STATCOM(Static Synchronous Compensator)은 고속으로 동작할 수 있고 충분한 무효전력을 공급할 능력을 가지고 있기 때문에 과도안정도를 향상시킬 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 풍력단지가 연계된 전력계통의 과도안정도 향상에 있어서 STATCOM의 유효성을 보인다. 접속점에 STATCOM을 설치하고 동적 모의를 한 결과 과도 안정도가 향상되는 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

In this paper, STATCOH(static synchronous compensator : one of the custom power equipment) is proposed for balancing unbalanced loads. Compensation current references are given by the analysis of the unbalanced 3-phase currents. And for detecting negative-sequence components, digital Butterworth LPF(low pass filter) is used. The predicted current controller in the synchronous rotating coordinates is also proposed. Finally, the effectiveness of STATCOM is verified by the simulations for unbalanced loads.
