Abstract

Statik Senkron Kompanzatör (STATCOM) iletim hatlarında reaktif güç kompanzasyonu ve güç sistemi kararlılığının artırılması için kullanılmaktadır. STATCOM dağıtım hatlarında kullanılırsa dağıtım STATCOM (DSTATCOM) olarak isimlendirilmektedir. Özel bir güç aygıtı olan DSTATCOM, dağıtım sistemlerinde güç kalitesi sorunlarını çözmek için kullanılan ortak kuplaj noktasına şönt bağlı bir gerilim kaynaklı eviricidir. Evirici STATCOM ve DSTATCOM’un temel yapı birimidir. Literatürde önerilen ve gerçek uygulamalarda kullanılan birçok evirici yapıları mevcuttur. Bu makalede, bugüne kadar STATCOM ve DSTATCOM’da kullanılan evirici yapıları incelenmektedir. Evirici yapılarının avantaj ve dezavantajları ortaya konulmaktadır. Ayrıca literatürden birçok örnek verilmektedir.

The inverter structures used in dynamics compensation devices: STATCOM and DSTATCOM topologies

Abstract

Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM) is used for to improve the stability of power system and reactive power compensation of transmission lines. When a STATCOM used in a distribution system it is called Distribution STATCOM (DSTATCOM). As a custom power device DSTATCOM is a shunt connected voltage source inverter to a common coupling point in the distribution system and is used for to improve the power quality problems. The main structural unit of STATCOM and DSTATCOM are inverters. Many inverter topologies are used in the application and a lot of proposed inverter structures are available in the literature. In this study the inverter structures and topologies that are used in STATCOM and DSTATCOM up to now are investigated. The advantages and disadvantages of the inverter structures are presented. Also a lot of examples from the literature have been given.
