Abstract

The Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM) is a shunt device using power electronics to control power flow and improve transient stability on power grids. A model of a 100Mvar GTO-based STATCOM on a 500kV transmission system is built and its dynamic response is simulated. The GTO-based STATCOM consists of a 48-pulse three-level inverter and its control system. The simulating result shows that the STATCOM has fine dynamic response and can regulate transmission system voltage efficaciously.
