Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM) for Reactive Power Control
VSC-based shunt FACTS device regulating feeder voltage by dynamically absorbing or injecting reactive VARs in real time.
Project Overview
A functional laboratory model of a STATCOM. Connected in shunt across an AC transmission line, the voltage source converter monitors line voltage deviations caused by heavy inductive or capacitive loads and injects compensating reactive currents to stabilize bus voltages.
