SIMULATION OF STATCOM FOR VOLTAGE QUALITY IMPROVEMENT IN POWER SYSTEM

Ogheneakpobo Jonathan Eyenubo

Abstract


Voltage fluctuations caused by rapid industrial load changes have been a major concern for both power companies and customers in the area of power quality. The fast response of the Static Compensator (STATCOM) makes it an efficient solution for improving power quality in distribution systems. The analyzed system is modeled using MATLAB/Simulink Power system including a complete STATCOM model with its power circuits and its control system. The complete model is validated by field test. Static and dynamic performance of STATCOM is evaluated and voltage fluctuation mitigation studies.
