Abstract

The direct on line (DOL) starting of a high power induction motor causes an acute voltage sag in the power supply system. Line to line and line to ground faults are some of the causes for voltage sags and voltage unbalance in the power supply system for industries and commercial buildings. This paper investigates hybrid compensation techniques to solve power quality problems arising from the DOL starting of a high power induction motor. The proposed solution utilizes the Static Compensator (STATCOM) and Static Synchronous Series Compensator (SSSC). In the proposed solution for voltage sags, STATCOM and SSSC are considered as the system components; therefore, a detailed mathematical model is developed for these components as well as a mathematical formulation of the proposed control schemes. Simulation results for STATCOM and SSSC based compensators are given.
