Abstract The static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) is a shunt device using power electronics to control power flow and
improve transient stability and reactive power control on power grids. A dynamic model of a 100MVAR GTO based STATCOM
consists of a 48 pulse seven level inverter and its control system.The simulating result shows that the STATCOM has fine
dynamic response and can regulate transmission system voltage efficiency.

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

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.

E. CONCLUSION
The paper presents a novel full 48-pulse GTO
voltage source converter of STATCOM and SSSC
FACTS devices. These full descriptive digital
models are validated for voltage stabilization
reactive compensation and dynamically power flow
