To Design and Simulation of STATCOM for a distribution system for reactive power compensation

At the end of this experiment students are able to

LO1: Describe how a Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM) operates and its role in reactive power compensation in power systems. 

LO2: Identify the impact of reactive power on voltage regulation and power factor in distribution systems. 

LO3: Develop a simulation model of a STATCOM using MATLAB/Simulink.

LO4: Analyze the performance difference of the distribution system in both scenarios to evaluate the effectiveness of STATCOM. 

MATLAB Software: Simscape (power system toolbox)

Theory should include following point

a) Circuit Description of STATCOM

b) Mathematical model of STATCOM

For details see video given below

Design and Simulate Static Synchronous Compensation (STATCOM) for following conditions:

Supply voltage=400V, 50Hz, Three Phase AC supply

Load=10kW and power factor varies from unity to 0.6 lagging

Watch the following video to design simulation circuit

From simulation note down record the values in following table
