Overview

STATCOM as know as Static Var Compensator or Static Synchronous Compensator(European and American names).

It is the most advanced dynamic reactive compensation technology that STATCOM is used. Because of STATCOM using the most mature of the voltage source converter technology,reactive power compensation device achieves a qualitative leap. Reactive power compensation don’t use large capacity capacitor or inductance device, but use the high frequency switch of power electronic devices to achieve reactive energy conversion.

STATCOM and takes IGBT as the core of reactive power compensation system. It can provide rapid succession capacitive or inductive reactive power to achieve the assessment point of constant reactive power compensation, constant voltage and constant power factor controlling etc. which make ensure that power system is stability, high efficiency, high-quality operation. In the distribution network, the small capacity of STATCOM products are installed in some special loads (such as electric arc furnace), which can significantly improve the power quality of PCC, such as, improving power factor, overcoming phase imbalance, eliminating voltage flicker and voltage fluctuations, suppressing harmonic pollution and so on.

STATCOM main role is improving grid stability, increasing transmission capacity, eliminating the impact of reactive power, suppressing harmonic, balancing three-phase grid voltage, reducing losses and energy conservation. The device connects to grid with reactor through adjusting the bridge converter circuit output voltage of the phase and amplitude or output currents to meet the requirements of absorbing or emitting reactive power, so that it can achieve dynamic reactive power compensation purposes.

Working principle of STATCOM

STATCOM products is the self-commutated bridge circuit via a transformer or reactor connected to the power line. By appropriately adjusting the AC side of the bridge circuit output voltage amplitude and phase, or directly controlling the AC side current to absorb or issue meeting requirements reactive current, thereby, dynamic reactive power compensation is achieved.

STATCOM adopt advanced instantaneous reactive power theory and power decoupling algorithm as the theory foundation, and adopt many technologies such as modern power electronics, automation, microelectronics and network communication. It can set reactive power nature and size, power factor and grid voltage as the control target.Through tracking power quality dynamically,reactive power output are adjusted. It can run at setting curve.
