“…In [39], a survey of the literature is presented on the optimal allocation of a D-STATCOM in a distribution network. The real-time control of multiple custom power devices (CPDs) using STATCOM and active power line conditioner (APLC) [37]. In this strategy, two particle swarm optimisation (PSO) algorithms are implemented to obtain the optimal sizing/siting and online control of multiple CPDs.…”

Although microgrids facilitate the increased penetration of distributed generations (DGs) and improve the security of power supplies, they have some issues that need to be better understood and addressed before realising the full potential of microgrids. This paper presents a comprehensive list of challenges and opportunities supported by a literature review on the evolution of converter-based microgrids. The discussion in this paper presented with a view to establishing microgrids as distinct from the existing distribution systems. This is accomplished by, firstly, describing the challenges and benefits of using DG units in a distribution network and then those of microgrid ones. Also, the definitions, classifications and characteristics of microgrids are revised according to their specific roles to provide a sound basis for novice researchers to undertake ongoing research on microgrids.

“…Moreover, these techniques require more time (one cycle) than time-domain methods to calculate Fourier coefficients, reference currents, and voltage signals for the sampling of variable coefficients. Meanwhile, time-domain techniques use instantaneous p-q theory [160], synchronous d-q reference frame theorem [161], synchronous detection theorem [120,162], constant power factor algorithm [163], PI controller [156], fuzzy controller [164], hysteresis controller [165], and sliding-mode controller [166]. Methods such as dividing frequency control [167] and extension p-q theorem [168] are implemented to generate the reference signals, which implement the p-q technique.…”

Abstract:This study summarizes an analytical review on the comparison of three-phase static compensator (STATCOM) and active power filter (APF) inverter topologies and their control schemes using industrial standards and advanced high-power configurations. Transformerless and reduced switch count topologies are the leading technologies in power electronics that aim to reduce system cost and offer the additional benefits of small volumetric size, lightweight and compact structure, and high reliability. A detailed comparison of the topologies, control strategies and implementation structures of grid-connected high-power converters is presented. However, reducing the number of power semiconductor devices, sensors, and control circuits requires complex control strategies. This study focuses on different topological devices, namely, passive filters, shunt and hybrid filters, and STATCOMs, which are typically used for power quality improvement. Additionally, appropriate control schemes, such as sinusoidal pulse width modulation (SPWM) and space vector PWM techniques, are selected. According to recent developments in shunt APF/STATCOM inverters, simulation and experimental results prove the effectiveness of APF/STATCOM systems for harmonic mitigation based on the defined limit in IEEE-519.

“…Thanks to the development of power semiconductors and cost reductions, it is more common to install the power electronics-based devices in grid. The functionalities of this kind of devices such as STATCOM and SVC, to support power grid operation by reactive power injection/absorption, have been analysed widely [2]- [6]. With these functionalities, the grid operation can satisfy the safety limits within an acceptable margin.…”

Due to the increasing demand of electrical energy, especially in urban areas, the traditional distribution power grid reaches its limitations of operation (e.g. large current flow or voltage deviation). The distribution grid needs to be upgraded to ensure stability margin of operation. Since the cost of space is expensive and there is also resistance against installation of extra equipment from local resident, to install new equipment in distribution grid becomes difficult. The choice of new device to support the grid must consider not only the services but also the cost of equipment and space. The devices based on power electronics (STATCOM, smart transformer (ST)) are able to provide ancillary services such as voltage support to medium voltage (MV) distribution grid. In this paper, the ST is analyzed and compared with the STATCOM in terms of cost and performance. By means of literature review and simulation, the performance of ST has been analyzed. The result shows that the ST provides more services to assist the control in distribution grid than STATCOM. In order to achieve the same performance of voltage support, the investment of ST is less. Index Terms-Smart Transformer, voltage support in distribution grid, reactive power control, MV grid control, STATCOM.
