Improving Power System Stability using Matlab and Space-Vector- Modulation-Based Statcom

Abstract

This study shows how to create power flow sharing in a power system utilising programmable AC sources that feed linear and nonlinear loads. SVPWM is a control technique used in a three-phase Voltage Source Converter (VSC) that serves as a Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM) to provide reactive power compensation. In addition to reactive power correction, a Voltage Source Converter utilised as a Static Synchronous Compensator provides effective damping for subsynchronous resonance, which improves the stability of renewable hybrid power systems [2]. The Voltage Source Converter with space vector control method is offered for correcting reactive power flow in order to rectify power factor, eliminate harmonics, and balance both linear and non-linear loads. Among the many PWM strategies, the space vector technique is recommended because it is simple to increase digital realisation and AC bus use. The suggested control technique is based on an approximation of the Voltage Source Converter's third-order nonlinear model, which compensates for uncertainty in three phase system parameters. The use of a Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation controller is recommended as a control approach for dependable power sharing between AC power sources in the grid and loads.
