전력의 흐름을 제어하기 위하여 유연 송전 시스템(Flexible AC Transmission System, FACTS)이 전력 계통에 다수 설치되었고, 앞으로도 설치되는 FACTS 기기의 수가 늘어날 예정이다. 특히, 전력수요가 많은 수도권에는 안정도와 안전도를 확보하기 위해 FACTS 중 하나인 정지형 무효 전력 보상기(Static Var Compensator, SVC)의 설치가 필요하다. 하지만 SVC가 수도권에 다수 설치되면 SVC 기기 간에 상호 간섭 가능성이 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 SVC 기기 간의 상호간섭 가능성을 제시하고 Kundur 모델의 PSS/e 시뮬레이션을 통해 SVC 기기 간의 상호 간섭이 발생할 수 있음을 확인하고자 한다.

Reactive power support is considered to be necessary for dealing with a voltage stability issue with wind turbine system employing squirrel-cage induction generator(SCIG). This paper analyses steady-state characteristics of the SCIG wind turbine system by simulating torque-slip characteristics of SCIG with respect to variations of interconnecting network strength and generator terminal voltage. It also presents dynamics analysis of SCIG wind turbine system on Simulink to investigate the impact of static var compensator(SVC) and static synchronous compensator(STATCOM) on transient stability enhancement. It analysed transient stability with varying fault duration times and compared the transient stability characteristics with varying rated capacities of SVC and STATCOM. It is shown that the STATCOM has a better performance and reactive power support compared to SVC.

This work deals with the compensation of the impact of highly varying loads on the power system using a static var compensator(SVC). Highly varying loads is properly modelled via deterministic approach using PSCAD/EMTDC. Also, the procedure to determine a suitable capacity of the compensator is proposed. Finally, the new online index to quantify the harmonic distortion is introduced.

Large steel industries have time-varying nonlinear loads such as electric arc furnaces. These nonlinear loads generate harmonic currents and create distortions on the sinusoidal voltage of the power system. The main objective of the static var compensator is to maintain the rms voltage at the point of common coupling within the limit. In this research, harmonic mitigation studies were conducted with and without the SVC, and time-varying harmonics were evaluated according to the international harmonic standards (IEC 61000-3-6 and IEEE Std. 519) using a cumulative probabilistic approach.

A five-level VSI(Voltage Source Inverter) is introduced as a SVC(Static Var Compensator) like a large scale power source. The problems in using SVC are that the power device can easily be destroyed by voltage unbalance and accurate reactive power control is difficult because of voltage variation. A asymmetrical PAM(Pulse Amplitude Modulation) switching pattern is proposed to solve this problem and analyze both fundamental component and harmonic current in the system. Through experimental results of 3.5 kVA experimental test system. It is confirmed that DC capacitor voltage can be controlled by asymmetrical PAM switching pattern control.

Multilevel voltage source inverters are emerging as a new breed of power inverter options for high power applications. This paper presents a cascade typed multilevel voltage source inverter which has separate de sources for high voltage. This inverter is proposed for flexible ac transmission systems (FACTS) including static var compensator(SVC), series compensation and phase shifting. It can solve the problems of conventional transformer-based multipulse inverters and the problems of multilevel diode-clamped inverters. To show the superiority of multilevel cascaded inverter, simulation results are discussed in detail.

A new static var compensator(SVC) system using three-level inverter is proposed for high voltage and high power applications. A general and simple model for the overall system is obtained using circuit DQ-transform and DC and AC analyses are achieved to characterize the open-loop system. Using the proposed model, a new control method which controls both the phase angle and modulation index of switching pattern simultaneously is suggested to provide fast response of SVC system without using independent voltage source. Finally, predicted results are verified by computer simulation.

전력계통은 전력수요의 지속적인 성장에 따라서 전력설비의 추가를 지속적으로 추진하고 있지만, 심해지는 환경문제 등으로 인해 용지 확보에 어려움이 있다. 이로 인해 송전선로 장거리화, 용량부족량 등 전력계통에 여러 가지 복잡한 문제가 야기되는데. 이것은 곧 전력계통의 안정도와 직결된다. 이러한 문제를 효과적이면서 경제적인 해결방법으로 FACT(Flexible AC Transmission System)기술이 주목 받고 있다. FACTS 기기 중 SVC(Static Var Compensator)는 상용운전 중이며, 기존 동기조상기에 비해 저렴하고, 신속 정확한 전압제어를 하는 장점이 있다. SVC는 TCR(Thyristor Controlled Reactor)과 TSC(Thyristor Switched Capacitor), FC(Fixed Capacitor)등 여러 종류의 구성을 가지고 있다. 합성시험회로설비(Synthetic Test Circuit)는 Thyristor로 구성된 TCR, TSC Valve를 실제 운전조건으로 동작시켜 SVC Valve의 신뢰성을 검증하는 설비이다. 특히, TSC Valve는 운전시 초기 과전류가 발생하는 운전특성상 이에 대한 평가기준에 따른 시험을 통해 신뢰성을 반드시 검증하여야 한다. 본 논문에서는 IEC 61954에서 제시하는 시험평가 기준에 의거하여 TSC의 Overcurrent Test를 위한 STC 평가 방법를 기술하고 설계된 TSC 시험을 위한 STC topology와 Simulation으로 검증 방법을 기술한다.

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 self tuning fuzzy controller for a synchronous generator excitation and SVC system. The proposed parameter self tuning algorithm of fuzzy controller is based on the steepest decent method using two direction vectors which make error between inference values of fuzzy controller and output values of the specially selected PSS reduce steepestly. Using input-output data pair obtained from PSS, the parameters in antecedent part and in consequent part of fuzzy inference rules are learned and tuned automatically using the proposed steepest decent method.
