 INTRODUCTION

Reactive power compensation and voltage regulation are two

effective measures to improve the voltage quality.

By using new emerging technology the stability and reliability

of the system can be maintain very well using FACTS devices.

Usually a STATCOM is installed to support electricity networks

that have a poor power factor and often poor voltage regulation.

VAR compensation is defined as the management of reactive

power to improve the performance of ac power systems.
 ELECTRICAL POWER

A. Active Power

B. Reactive Power

C. Apparent Power

In this we are compensating the Reactive power

 REACTIVE POWER

 NEED FOR COMPENSATION

The voltage regulation

Increased system stability.

Better utilization of the machines

connected to the system.

Reducing losses associated with the

system.

To prevent voltage collapse.

 NEW VAR COMPENSATORS
TECHNOLOGY

Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM),

Static Synchronous Series Compensator (SSSC),

Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR),

Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC),

Interline Power Flow Controller (IPFC) and

Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage (SMES).

 SINGLE LINE DIAGRAM OF
REACTIVE POWER COMP. USING STATCOM

Components mainly
used are :

Coupling Transformer

Voltage source
converter

Capacitor bank

STATCOM controller
VOLTAGE SOURCE CONVERTER (VSC)

In the figure, we have

represented ideal bi-
directional switches. It
converts voltage and currents
from DC to AC while the
exchange of power can be in
both directions
From AC to DC (rectifier
mode)
From DC to AC (inverter
mode).
STATCOM CONTROLLER

The strategy of STATCOM

controller is to keep the DC
capacitor voltage constant
while controlling the
modulation index to keep the
voltage constant during the
disturbance interval
PWM TECHNIQUE

The amplitude of the

fundamental component
of the output voltage
VMOD, which can be
modified with the PWM
pattern as shown in
figure.
When
VMOD VCOMP
the VAR compensator
generates reactive power
and when
VMOD VCOMP
the compensator absorbs
reactive power
