Abstract

A power quality problem is an occurrence manifested as a nonstandard voltage, current or frequency that results in a failure of end user equipments. Utility distribution networks, sensitive industrial loads and critical commercial operations suffer from various types of outages and service interruptions which can cost significant financial losses. This paper describes the technique of correcting the overvoltage and voltage drops in the distribution system. At present, a wide range of very flexible controllers, which capitalize on newly available power electronics components, are emerging for custom power applications. A PWM based control scheme has been proposed that only requires voltage measurements and no reactive power measurements are required. The operation of the proposed control method is presented for ST A TCOM. The STA TCOM, which consists of a GTO based voltage source inverter, uses advanced power electronics to provide voltage stabilization, power factor correction, and other power quality solutions for both utility and industrial applications. In this paper however, the concern will be regulation of overvoltage and voltage drops on the llkV distribution system and proves the existence of harmonics generated by the device. STATCOM simulations are done by using the PSCADIEMTDC version 4.1.1 electromagnetic transient program.
