REACTIVE POWER COMPENSATION USING HYBRID STATCOM

Abstract

Now day, measure issue in the power system is maintaining the power quality. To maintain that power quality reactive power compensation is required. Maintaining the power quality under different loading condition and the under voltage sag and unbalanced current is important. For improving reactive power compensation Flexible AC transmission System (FACTS) devices is play important part in the system. SVC and STATCOM play important part in the reactive power compensation. Due to some drawbacks of the SVC, STATCOM is used in this paper. Traditional STATCOM have some drawbacks such slow response and low reactive power compensation range. Hence in this paper Hybrid STATCOM is used.
