Mitigation of the Statcom with Energy Storage for Power Quality Improvement

Mohammed Shafiuddin, Mohammed Nazeeruddin

Abstract: One of the most interesting types of custom power devices, due to its exibility and fast control, is the shunt-connected voltage source converter (VSC), also known as the static synchronous compensator (STATCOM). This project deals with the control, performance and applications of STATCOMs equipped with energy storage for power quality improvements. The additional power quality applications, made possible by the energy storage which enables a STATCOM to support an entry into islanding operation, by rapid balancing of loads, after tripping of a single feeder. STATCOMs equipped with energy storages, due to the ability of controlling both active and reactive power, can keep the system performance practically unaffected during the same conditions. Simulation is done using MATLAB software
