Abstract : STATCOM devices play a vital role in modern power systems, providing flexible and efficient solutions for voltage control, enhancing power quality, supporting renewable integration, and improving overall grid reliability and performance. A STATCOM (Static Synchronous Compensator) is a device used in power systems for voltage control, power flow control, and reactive power compensation. It is a type of Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) technology that uses power electronics to manage the flow of electricity on the grid. A STATCOM works by generating or absorbing reactive power (VARs), which helps to regulate voltage levels on the electrical network. Unlike traditional compensators that use capacitors and inductors for reactive power management, a STATCOM uses a voltage source converter (VSC) and can provide variable reactive power support regardless of the AC system voltage. This makes it highly effective in stabilizing grid voltage, particularly under rapidly changing load conditions or during disturbances.

Keywords : FACTS, Reactive power, STATCOM, MATLAB.
