Abstract

This paper introduces a detailed model for the static compensator (STATCOM). The proposed model consists of two six-pulse converters connected in series on the ac side. The dc sides of the two converters are connected in parallel and share the same dc capacitor. The phase control technique is implemented. The main parts of the compensator system are modeled as separate parts. So, the model can be used as a benchmark model for the STATCOM using the ATPdraw of the electromagnetic transients program (EMTP-ATP). The proposed model verification has been undertaken by the use of published results.
