In this study, a new method for designing the damping controller was proposed to improve the transient power system stability in a single machine network connected to an infinite bus. The STATCOM controller problem in a wide area of the system function was considered as an optimization problem with multi-purpose objective function. Also, the Honey Bee Mating Optimization Algorithm was used to d...

In this paper, a statcom without any energy storage devices is proposed to compensate network voltage during disturbances. This statcom utilizes a matrix converter in its topology which eliminates the DC-link capacitor of conventional statcom. The modulation method for matrix converter which is used in this paper is space vector modulation. There are some methods to improve power quality for se...

This paper proposes and validates models to accurately represent STATic Synchronous Shunt COMpensators (STATCOM) in voltage and angle stability studies of powers systems.
