Abstract

The paper focus is on the application of Distribution Static Compensators (D-STATCOM) in Smart Micro-Grid (MG). First of all, Smart Grids concept is introduced and the main definitions on the Smart MG are given. Afterwards, an overview on D-STATCOMs is reported, pointing out their layout, components and possible functions, in presence of energy storage system or not. Finally the problem of management of these devices for application in Smart MG is analysed, with a particular focus on the choice of the communication technologies for data exchange with an Energy Management System (EMS).
