Abstract

Static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) is a regulating device used in AC transmission systems as a source or a sink of reactive power. The most common use of the STATCOM is in improving the voltage stability of the transmission system. This work suggests a simple and easy to implement PI controller to control the operation of a 12-pulse STATCOM placed at the weak point of Mosul city 132 kV ring system. The strategy of STATCOM controller is to keep the DC capacitor voltage constant. The whole system including the STATCOM and its controller has been simulated after some kinds of disturbances and the results show improvements in voltage profile of the system.
