This paper describes the development of the transient analysis model of 345[kV] 100[MVA] STATCOM and the result of the performance analysis. The Korea power utility company, KEPCO began a commercial operation of a 100[MVA] STATCOM(Static synchronous COMpensator) at 345[kV] Migeum substation in Seoul. In order to operate a new control device like STATCOM to the power system, suitable transient model is needed. Therfore, Korea Electric Power Coporation(KEPCO) developed a transient analysis models using EMTDC/PSCAD. The development of this transient analysis model is based on the actual STATCOM S/W algorithm and H/W specification that was provided by its manufacture. Through this model, the transient/dynamic performance of STATCOM at Migeum substation can be analyzed.

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.

This paper describes dynamic performance analysis of a STATCOM based on 3-level inverter. Major attention is focused on the controller design for 3-level inverter, including regulator design for voltage sharing across the dc link capacitors. A detailed simulation model was developed with Matlab and a scaled hardware model was built and tested to verify the proposed approach. Both simulation and experimental results confirm that the developed controller can regulate the reactive power. The developed controller could be effectively applied to the actual hardware system for STATCOM.

DSTATCOM is active filter that reduces nonlinear and unbalanced currents. Researches about DSTATCOM are mainly divided two parts, one is the reference value calculation of compensation current depending on the calculation of the load-side average active power and dc-link capacitor average voltage, the other part is actual current control depending on the reference value of compensation current. This paper proposes a calculation of dc-link capacitor average voltage ripple voltage extraction instead of conventional method using LPF. The utility of the proposed algorithm is verified through the theoretical analysis and the experiment under unbalance loads and non-linear load.

This paper proposes a calculation of compensation current using phase shift to eliminate ripple components of instantaneous active power under unbalanced or non-linear loads condition. The proposed phase shift method instead of existing method(LPF; Low Pass Filter) to remove ripple components and this proposed method improves performances of transient and steady state response. To compare proposed method with existing method, experiments have been done for calculating an average active power at load side. Their results show that transient response and steady state response of proposed method is improved.

In this paper, conventional reactive power compensation is defined and instantaneous real control concept for shunt converters is proposed. This equipment incorporates the compensation function of harmonics at the distribution line by nonlinear load. These methodologies are applied to IEEE 13 distribution system with the modeling of nonlinear load using EMTEDC/PSCAD package. Simulation with EMTDC results presented to confirm that the new approach has better performance than those obtained by controllers based on traditional concepts of reactive power compensation.

This paper presents the design of an H$\infty$ based robust Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM) supplementary controller to suppress the subsynchronous resonance (SSR) in the series-compensated system. The IEEE second benchmark, System-l model is employed for this study. In order to design the effective controller, the modal controllability and observability indices to the oscillation modes are considered. Comprehensive time domain simulations using a nonlinear system model that the proposed STATCOM supplementary controller can suppress the SSR efficiently in spite of the variations of power system operating conditions.
