Abstract

In the context of power system, Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM) plays an important role to compensate stored energy in reactive elements. Lately, researchers are working for the selection of better optimized feedback Controller gains for the STATCOM control input. This paper presents a systematic approach for selecting such an optimized feedback control input, by considering the system with and without disturbances. Optimized control input models presented here is tested on the Single Machine Infinite Bus (SMIB) linearised Phillips-Heffron model of a power system installed with STATCOM using MATLAB/SIMULINK platform for damping oscillations.

Keywords
