Description
Summary:Increasing interest in renewable energy has led to a recent decline in the control flexibility of electric grids. To compensate, there has been a rise in the use of flexible AC transmission systems, with Static Synchronous Compensators (STATCOMs) being among the most advanced. These systems actively change their reactive power generation output to provide control flexibility. However, conventional STATCOM controllers only focus on stabilizing the STATCOM node voltage, potentially missing opportunities to stabilize remote node voltages simultaneously. In this paper, we propose a new STATCOM that addresses this limitation by stabilizing other node voltages. We verify the effectiveness of the proposed control approach using a Power System Simulator for Engineering tool with the IEEE 39 bus system.
