“…In addition, the STATCOM can balance the voltage at the PCC when an unbalanced load has been connected. This case is given for example in electrified railway traction power supply applications [6], or arc furnace applications [7][8][9]. The selection of the most suitable VSC topology for a STATCOM application is a challenging issue.…”

This paper compares the performance of four different power electronic converter topologies, which have been proposed for STATCOM applications. Two of the topologies are Modular Multilevel Cascaded Converters (MMCC), whilst the remaining circuits utilize magnetic elements and an open-winding transformer configuration to combine individual power modules. It is assumed that the STATCOM has to work under unbalanced conditions, so that it delivers both positive and negative sequence currents. Simulation studies for the four topologies have been carried out using the simulation tool Saber.

Voltage flicker is one of the most significant disturbances in electrical distribution power systems. An electric arc furnace is considering as one of the major source of voltage flicker due to it an unbalanced, nonlinear and timevarying characteristic. Distribution Synchronous static compensator (D-STATCOM) has been proved to be more efficient and dynamic device to compensate voltage flicker in power system. The proper control algorithm to its control loop is an interfering factor in the quality enhancement of this compensator. This paper presents a Phase-Loop Locked (PLL) Controller technique for 6-pulse D-STATCOM to effectively compensate voltage flicker due to electric arc furnace load. To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed technique, testing has been conducted under IEEE 13 distribution bus test system. The simulation results show the fast time response of 6-pulse D-STATCOM using PLL controller to mitigate the fast varying voltage flicker into perceptible level.
