Design of Optimal Control Techniques For STATCOM Control Inputs in Power System

Abstract

The selection of Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM) control input along with the appropriate optimized feedback controller is an current challenge in the present scenario of power system network. Hence, in this paper the optimal control techniques are proposed for the STATCOM phillips heffron model in various combinations such as individual, coordinated and switching between individual control inputs. The simulation results of all the proposed optimal control approaches are compared for the slection of best optimal control approach of the STATCOM model to damp the oscillations in power sytem.
