A Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM) is a device that can provide reactive power support to an electric power system bus. It consists of a voltage sourced converter connected to an energy storage device on one side and to the power system on the other side. This paper presents the detailed design of the control system for a PWM-based STATCOM. Since the control system is designed to be implemented...
Distributed generation units in micro-grid can be connected to utility grid as alternative energy sources besides providing power to their local loads. The distributed generation units are interfaced with utility grid using inverter. With inverter control, both active and reactive power pumped into the utility grid from the distributed generation units can be controlled. Reactive power flow control...
The power grid is aging, and getting increasingly congested. Conventional solutions, such as flexible ac transmission systems (FACTS) can be used to control power flow on the grid. However, widespread adoption of this technology has been hampered by high costs and reliability concerns. The concept of distributed FACTS devices, as an alternative approach to realizing cost-effective power flow control,...
