Abstract

Flexible ac transmission systems (FACTS) controller can provide better control than conventional control and achieve fast control response time. Static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) is one of the key flexible ac transmission systems (FACTS) devices based on voltage source converter (VSC) technology. The controller can provide both capacitive and inductive compensation and is able to control output current over the rated maximum capacitive or inductive range independent of the ac system voltage. This paper presents a study of modeling, operation and control fundamentals of the STATCOM.
