본 논문은 한전 전력연구원이 주관하고 명지대학교와 (주)효성이 참여하는 연구과제의 결과물로써 다중펄스 컨버터와 PWM 컨버터로 구성된 20MVA급 Back-to-Back STATCOM의 시스템 구성 및 제어 동작특성에 대하여 정리하였다. 한전 전력연구원과 (주)효성이 국책과제를 통해 순수 국내기술로 개발한 10MVA급 다중펄스 STATCOM의 활용방안으로 10MVA급 PWM STATCOM 1기를 추가하여 두 STATCOM 각각의 DC link단을 연계시킨 20MVA급 Back-to-Back STATCOM을 구성하고 제어 알고리즘을 개발하였다. 또한 PSCAD/EMTDC 소프트웨어를 이용하여 개발한 Back-to-Back STATCOM의 제어 및 동작특성을 분석하였다.

Back-to-back STATCOM configuration is an extension of STATCOM in which the reactive power at two-sides and the real power flow through the DC link can be controlled concurrently and independently. This flexible operation brings many advantages to the micro-grids, distributed generation based systems, and deregulated power systems. In this paper, the dynamic control characteristics of the back-to-back STATCOM is investigated by simulating the detailed converter-level model of the converters in PSCAD. Various case studies in a single-machine test system are studied to present that the real power control feature of the BtB-STATCOM, even with a simple controller design, can enhance the transient stability of the machine under different fault scenarios.

This paper discussed a transformer-less shunt static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) with consideration of the following aspects: fast compensation of the reactive power, harmonic cancelation and reducing the unbalancing of the 3-phase source side currents. The STATCOM control algorithm is based on the theory of instantaneous reactive power (P-Q theory). A self charging technique is proposed to regulate the dc capacitor voltage at a desired level with the use of a PI controller. In order to regulate the DC link voltage, an off-line Genetic Algorithm (GA) is used to tune the coefficients of the PI controller. This algorithm arranged these coefficients while considering the importance of three factors in the DC link voltage response: overshoot, settling time and rising time. For this investigation, the entire system including the STATCOM, network, harmonics and unbalancing load are simulated in MATLAB/SIMULINK. After that, a 35KVA STATCOM laboratory setup test including two parallel converter modules is designed and the control algorithm is executed on a TMS320F2812 controller platform.

A new algorithm for a coordinative control method is proposed with respect to voltage control and system stabilization of local substations. This is accomplished using control cooperation between a static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) and the existing voltage compensation equipment in the steady state and emergency state of a power system. A real-time system analysis was developed by combining a system analysis program with InTouch, which has primarily been used in factory automation for verification. PSS/E was used for the load flow calculation software, Python for language, Intouch as an HMI program, and MS SQL for the database. To test this system, the system in the vicinity of the Migeum and the Migeum substations was modeled and simulated.
