Abstract :
Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) devices have been used in power systems since the 1970s for the improvement of its dynamic performance. Among these devices, Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM) is a shunt connected FACTS device, which is capable of providing reactive power compensation to the power system. This paper describes a static synchronous compensator using PWM current source converter (CSC). In this paper, initially the dynamic dq-frame model of the CSC based STATCOM is presented and its linear steady-state characteristics are derived based on the model using power balance equation. Letter on, the operation of CSC based STATCOM system is analyzed in detail through a theoretical approach and computer simulation with Matlab/Simulink. This paper also presents the advantages of CSC topology over VSC topology based STATCOM.
