Damping of Power System Oscillation using STATCOM Integrated with SMES

Abstract

STATCOM is a FACTS device, which is shunt connected to power system. It operates as a voltage source converter. It has many application like Voltage stability, damping of oscillation, power flow control etc. SMES is an energy storage system which can be applied to large power system. In this paper impact of STATCOM integrated with a SMES on two machine power system is explored.

Exploring the Enhanced Performance of a Static Synchronous Compensator with a Super-Capacitor in Power Networks

“…The STATCOM has the ability to provide more capacitive reactive power during fault conditions. STATCOM regulates both inductive and capacitive modes according to the action of injection or absorption of the reactive power [12,13]. Reactive power variation is performed by the voltage source converter coupled to the coupling transformer [14,20].…”

“…An ultra-capacitor is used with the STATCOM for power oscillation damping in [12]. In [13], a superconducting magnetic energy storage system with STATCOM is used for power system oscillation damping. In [14], steady state performance has been checked with STATCOM and an energy storage system.…”
