Abstract :
STATCOM devices play a vital role in
modern power systems, providing flexible and efficient
solutions for voltage control, enhancing power quality,
supporting renewable integration, and improving overall
grid reliability and performance. A STATCOM (Static
Synchronous Compensator) is a device used in power
systems for voltage control, power flow control, and
reactive power compensation. It is a type of Flexible AC
Transmission System (FACTS) technology that uses
power electronics to manage the flow of electricity on the
grid. A STATCOM works by generating or absorbing
reactive power (VARs), which helps to regulate voltage
levels on the electrical network. Unlike traditional
compensators that use capacitors and inductors for
reactive power management, a STATCOM uses a
voltage source converter (VSC) and can provide variable
reactive power support regardless of the AC system
voltage. This makes it highly effective in stabilizing grid
voltage, particularly under rapidly changing load
conditions or during disturbances.
