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.
V-I characteristic of a
STATCOM
Indirect control
via control of DC capacitor voltage
That in turn is controlled by controlling the
angle of output voltage
Direct control
PWM
