Abstract

Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM) is a device based on a voltage source converter which
shunt connected to the grid. The STATCOM goes one step further than SVC and is capable of improving the power
quality against even voltage dips and flickers. The advantages of a STATCOM are that the reactive power provision is
independent from the actual voltage on the connection point. In this work MATLAB based simulation of STATCOM
and its related analysis is done. In this paper the study of various shunt connected FACTS devices and simulation of
11KV transmission line with and without STATCOM is done and different faults are applied to the system and
analysis of voltage sag is done. The respected simulations are being shown.
