Abstract

STATCOM is one of the most popular devices that been used for voltage stability. There has been no report on the effect of SATCOM control mode on voltage stability. It is very important to understand which parameters and what value of these parameters affect the voltage stability. The results of previous studies have shown that the STATCOM have considerable effects on the improvement of voltage stability, but there have not been any investigations on the effects of the control mode of STATCOM on the voltage stability. This paper deals with the effect of the STATCOM control mode on voltage stability. Simulation results on the IEEE 30-bus test system show the high effect of the STATCOM control mode on voltage stability.
