Abstract

Abstract:
Presence of a FACTS device like STATCOM in the transmission system improves
system stability and enhances system voltage, but certain other problems emerge in the
field of power system protection. In particular, transmission line protection. The
implementation of control strategies for STATCOM introduces new power system
dynamic problems that must be considered. This paper presents simulation results for
investigation STATCOM impact on transient components of voltage and current during
several types of faults.
