Power Factor Improvement By Reactive power compensation using STATCOM

Authors(3) :-Ms. Anushka Tekade, Dr. P. D. Debre, Ms. Priyanka Kubade

This paper presents a study on MATLAB/SIMULINK model of STATCOM (Static synchronous compensator) for reactive power compensation. The STATCOM is shunt connected FACTS device used for improving the voltage profile of transmission system which connects the line with voltage source inverter (VSI) with DC link capacitor. Reactive power compensation using STATCOM is used for mitigating power loss & improves power factor and voltage profile in transmission system. In this paper, PWM technique is used as a control strategy using dq0 transformation and also different results with different percentage of compensation is also studied. It is the best way to overcome the problem of reactive power compensation without constructing new transmission lines.
