A. INTRODUCTION
The static synchronous compensator is a shunt
device of the flexible AC transmission system
family using power electronics to control power
flow and improve transient stability on power grids.
The statcom regulates voltage at its terminal by
controlling the amount of reactive power capacitor
injected into or absorbed from the power system,
where the system voltage is low. The statcom
generates reactive power when system voltage is
high, it absorbs reactive power inductive. A novel
complete using the 48 pulse digital simulation of the
stat-com within a power system is presentated in

fig-2(48 pulse 3 level GTO based inverter)

this paper. The digital simulation is performed using


the MATLAB/SIMULINK software and the power

B.48 Pulse 3 Level Inverter

system block set (PSB).The basic building block of

The model of 48-Pulse three-level inverter is shown


figure 3. It consists of four 3-phase 3-level inverters
coupled with four phase shifting transformers
introducing phase shift of 7.5 degrees. Except for
the 23rd and 25th harmonics, this transformer
arrangement neutralizes all odd harmonics up to
the 45th harmonic. Y and D transformer secondaries
cancel harmonics 5+12n (5, 17, 29, 41,...) and

the statcom is the full 48 pulse .

7+12n (7, 19,31,43,...). In addition, the 15 phase


shift between the two groups of transformers (Tr1Y
and Tr1D leading by 7.5, Tr2Y andTr2D lagging
by 7.5) allows cancellation of harmonics 11+24n
(11,35,...) and 13+24n (13, 37,...).Considering that
all 3n harmonics are not transmitted by the
transformers (delta and ungrounded Y), the first
harmonics that are not canceled by the transformers
are therefore the 23rd, 25th, 47th and 49th
harmonics. By choosing the appropriate conduction
angle for the three-level inverter ( = 172.5), the
23rd and 25th harmonics can be minimized. The
first significant harmonics generated by the inverter
will then be 47th and 49th.Using a bipolar DC
voltage, the STATCOM thus generates a 48-step
voltage approximating a sine wave[2,3].
C. STATCOM CONTROL SYSTEM
The model of STATCOM Control System is shown
figure 4.Its task is to increase or decrease the
capacitor DC voltage, so that the generated AC
voltage has the correct amplitude for the required
reactive power. The control system must also keep
the AC generated voltage in phase with the system
voltage at the STATCOM connection bus to
generate transformer and inverter losses).The
control system uses the following modules: 1) PLL
(phase locked loop) it synchronizes GTO pulses to
the system voltage and provides a reference angle to
the measurement system. 2) Measurement System it
computes the positive sequence. components of the
STATCOM voltage and current, using phase-to-dq
transformation and a running-window averaging. 3)
Voltage regulation it is performed by two PI
regulators: from the measured voltage Vrms and the
reference voltage Vref, the Voltage Regulator block
(outer loop computes the reactive current reference
Iqref used by the current regulator block (inner
loop). The output of the current regulator is the
angle which is the phase shift of the inverter
voltage with respect to the system voltage. This
angle stays
very close to zero except during short periods of
time, as explained below. A voltage droop is
incorporated in the voltage regulation to obtain a VI characteristics with a slope (0.03 pu/100 MVA
in this case). Therefore, when the STATCOM

D. SIMULATING
Open the programmable voltage source menu and
look at the sequence of voltage steps that are
programmed. Also, open the STATCOM Controller
dialog box and verify that the STATCOM is in
voltage regulation mode with a reference voltage of
1.0pu. Run the simulation and observe waveforms
on the STATCOM scope block. Initially the
programmable voltage source is set at 1.0491pu,
resulting in a 1.0pu voltage at bus B1 when the
STATCOM is out of service. As the reference
voltage Vref is set to 1.0 pu, the STATCOM is
initially floating (zero current).The DC voltage is
19.3kV. These waveforms are reproduced is shown
decreased by 4.5% (0.955pu of nominal voltage).
The STATCOM reacts by generating reactive power
(Q=+70Mvar) to keep
voltage at 0.979pu. The 95% settling time is
approximately 47 ms. At this point the DC voltage
has
voltage is increased to1.045pu of its nominal value.
The STATCOM reacts by changing its operating
point from capacitive to inductive to keep voltage at
1.021pu. At this point the STATCOM
absorbs 72Mvar and the DC voltage has been
lowered to 18.2kV. Observe on the first trace
showing the STATCOM primary voltage and
current that the current is changing from capacitive
to inductive in approximately one cycle.

models are validated for voltage stabilization
