The load of electric railroad can generate voltage fluctuation in the electric railway system because of high speed of the electric railroad and frequent movement and stop. This voltage fluctuation of electric railway system can cause not only voltage imbalance but also harmonic in the utility grid. Therefore the electric railroad system is in need of the reactive power compensation, such as static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) and static var compensator (SVC). Especially, the battery energy storage system (BESS) can control the real and reactive power at the same time. In this paper, the electric railway system using BESS has been modeled to show its voltage compensation effect using Matlab/Simulink.

The DSTATCOM(Distribution Static Synchronous Compensator) is one of the Custom Power Devices that can regulate voltage. The DSTATCOM operates as a shunt connected static var compensator whose capacitive or inductive output current can be controlled independent of the system voltage. The magnitude of the compensated voltage is limited by characteristics of the system and the load. Compensation capability of the DSTATCOM which can inject 1 MVAR reactive power was simulated by EMTDC under several conditions. This paper analyzes the effect of the DSTATCOM's compensation considering the length and kind of distribution line, the power factor and magnitude of the load, and the duration and magnitude of the voltage variation.

This paper propose a new form of UPQC (Unified Power Quality Compensator) to compensate the current and voltage quality problems of nonlinear loads. The conventional UPQC system consists of a series inverter, a parallel inverter, and a common DC link. A new type of UPQC proposed is a parallel compensator with SVC (Static Var Compensator) added to compensate for the wide compensation range and low DC link voltage. The parallel inverter compensates the reactive power generated by the nonlinear load, and the series inverter compensates the sag and swell generated at the power supply side.

This paper proposed the voltage compensation analysis method in distribution system by EMTP. SVC (Static Var Compensator) of the thyristor controlled reactor type is used for compensation system. EMTP(E1ectr-o Magnetic Transient Program) model of SVC is proposed to analysis the voltage improvement characteristics at the high voltage system bus. It is composed with three parts ; rms detector, voltage regulator and gate pulse generator. The control signal of TCR is determined by rms value which was measured in system. As the result of EMTP simulation, all of the SVC characteristics like TCR current, firing pulse and bus voltage is very reliable. This method could be used to analysis the planning and the operation of compensation system in the large scale factory.

A cascade multilevel voltage source inverter is introduced to apply the advanced static var compensator(ASVC) for large scale power application. This cascade M-level inverter consists of (M-1)/2 single-phase full bridges. This inverter is suitable to the flexible ac transmission systems(FACTS) including SVC, series compensation and phase shifting. It can solve the problems of conventional transformer -based multipulse inverters and multilevel diode-clamped inverters. From the simulation results, the validity of ASVC with cascade multilevel inverter is shown for high power application.

With the propagation and spread of the new regeneration energy and increase in electricity demand, power systems tend to be decentralized, and accordingly, the use of a power system stabilizer tends to expand for the stabilization of the distribution system. Thus, typical power system stabilizer, Static Var Compensator (SVC) is developed on a variety of topologies. In addition, the trend of technology leads from SVC to Static Synchronous Compensator(STATCOM) technology development. Recently, to overcome STATCOM's conversion losses and economic disadvantages, studies of a hybrid method using STATCOM and SVC in parallel have actively been conducted. This study proposes a new Soft-Step Switching method to limit inrush current problematic in Thyristor Controlled Capacitor (TCC) method in SVC function. In addition, to reduce Statcom's capacity, groups of reactive power compensation reactor and condenser for SVC were designed.

In this paper a method for the development of a static VAR compensator (SVC) control algorithm is presented. The proposed algorithm has been designed with the objective of eliminating the negative impact of electric arc furnaces on the power system. First, a mathematical model of the proposed SVC controller in the d-q synchronous rotating coordinate system is developed. An analysis under dynamic and steady state conditions is also carried out. The efficiency of the presented controller is demonstrated by means of computer simulations of an actual steel-factory network model. The major advantages of the proposed controller are better flicker compensation, increased ability to regulate voltage and the need for only one-point network measurements.

Scott transformers have widely used to convert three phases into two phases and compensate the unbalance. Theoretically, the loads of the two secondary phases are same, no unbalance appears in the PCC(point of common coupling). But Due to the uncertainty of traction load, the unbalance are generally presented at the PCC. In this paper The amount of the voltage unbalance is expressed in the ratio of the negative sequence voltages to the positive sequence voltage. We tried to compensate the unbalance using SVC(Static Var Compensator）in an unbalance traction loads state by modeling. The SVC are installed and controlled to provide different amounts of reactive power compensation.

The application field of photovoltaic system has been increased widely. In the application of photovoltaic system, the utility interactive photovoltaic system(UIPVS) has benefits of not only the home energy saving in domestic system but also reduction of peak power which threaten the capacity of power plant equipment when the maximum power consumption is occurred in daytime. This paper represents the effect of the nonlinear AC load which connected to the UIPVS with parallel connection and introduces the active power filtering(APF) techniques to the UIPVS for the reactive power compensation. The enhancement of source side power quality using APF algorithm is verified using simulation.
