Impact Analysis of Midpoint Connected STATCOM on Distance Relay Performance
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents the impact of the Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM) on the performance of distance protection of EHV transmission lines. A 400kV transmission system having midpoint connected STATCOM with its control circuit is modeled using MATLAB/SIMULINK software. The impact of STATCOM on distance relay for different fault conditions and different fault locations is analyzed. Simulation results indicate that the presence of the STATCOM in the transmission system significantly changes the line impedance seen by the distance relay to be lower or higher than the actual line impedance. Due to this the performance of the distance relay changes, either overreaches or under reaches.

Impedance-Based Out-of-Step Protection of Generator in the Presence of STATCOM
This paper presents a novel impedance-based approach for out-of-step (OOS) protection of a synchronous generator. The most popular and commonly used approaches for detecting OOS conditions are based on the measurement of positive sequence impedance at relay location. However, FACTS devices change the measured impedance value and thus disrupt the performance of impedance-based relay function. In...

The STATCOM (Synchronous Static Compensator) based on voltage source converter (VSC) is used for voltage regulation in transmission and distribution systems. The STATCOM can rapidly supply dynamic VARs required during system faults for voltage support. The apparent impedance is influenced by the reactive power injected or absorbed by the STATCOM, which will result in the under reaching or over ...
