STATCOM(Static
Synchronous Compensator)
Variable Source Type Compensator
Possibility of generating controllable reactive power
without the use of ac capacitors or reactors, by using
switching power converters was disclosed by Gyugyi in
1976.
Similar to Synchronous Compensator.

Operation of STATCOM
A STATCOM consists of a
SVS that is supplied by a
dc storage capacitor Cdc.
The SVS is connected in
shunt with the ac system
bus through a coupling
transformer with a leakage
reactance of XT.

Static Synchronous Generator


Pure reactive injection or absorption is neither possible
nor desirable.
The dc capacitor voltage can be regulated by
replenishing the losses due to switching and in the
coupling transformer circuit by drawing power from
the ac system.
Therefore must lag by a small amount such
that the dc capacitor voltage is held constant.

Indirect control
via control of DC capacitor voltage
That in turn is controlled by controlling the
angle of output voltage

Direct control
PWM
