Thapa, Smita (2017) DC Bus Voltage Controller for a STATCOM. Coursework Masters thesis, University of Southern Queensland. (Unpublished)
Abstract
A Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM) is a regulating device which can provide reactive support to the bus. It is a member of Flexible Alternating Current Transmission System (FACTS) which is shunt connected. The voltage source in the STATCOM is the capacitor; hence the STATCOM can either absorb or inject reactive power in the network.
STATCOM can be used for voltage regulation, power factor correction, reactive power compensation and many more other operations. This dissertation focuses on the control of the DC bus voltage with the STATCOM. The initial intention was to build a full model of the STATCOM in the laboratory, but due to the lack of time and other complexities, this aim was not accomplished. However, this dissertation provides a complete depiction of the findings of the simulation results using sim power systems.
With the help of the sim power system modelling and simulations and with the aid of different waveforms and diagrams, the control of the dc bus voltage was done. This dissertation provides the explanation of the control technique along with some analysis.
