This paper presents a novel concept of utilizing the photo voltaic solar farm inverter as STATCOM(Static Compensator), named PV-STATCOM, in order to improve the voltage profile of the power system. The entire STATCOM is able to transmit either active or reactive power into the grid. This system is connected to a 14 BUS IEEE standard grid as a case study to simulate the performance of the system...

In this paper, a novel control method for photovoltaic converter connection to the national gridis presented, so in addition to the injection control by solar arrays to the grid, this method cancompensate reactive power and harmonics in the load current. The system will be connected inparallel between the grid and load. The proposed system supplies all load power consumption(including active po...

using the facts controllers, such as static synchronous compensator (statcom), as it provides continuous reactive power, in the grid including wind turbine (wt) equipped with doubly fed induction generator, for improving voltage profile (under normal circumstances) and providing a transition ability from inductor generator transition state has been proposed. in this paper, in order to control t...

electric arc furnace (eaf) is one of the largest loads in electric power systems. it is highly time varying and nonlinear. its reactive power variations cause voltage fluctuations in nearby system which is known as flicker. on the other hand the nonlinear voltage-current characteristic causes strong voltage and current harmonics in eaf. to this end flexible ac transmission systems (facts) techn...
