INTRODUCTION:
Voltage flicker is considered as one of the most severe power quality problems.
FACTS devices have been gradually noticed to be used for voltage flicker
compensation.
This paper presents the contrasting approaches; dealing with the voltage flicker
mitigation in three stages.
STATCOM:
The function of statcom is similar to that of a synchronous
condenser.
It provides reactive power compensation.
A complete STATCOM system basically consists of a DC
voltage source, self commutated converter using GCT
thyristor and step up transformer.
CONTROL OF STATCOM:
VOLTAGE FLICKER:
Interaction of electrical loads with the network causes further deterioration of
the electrical power quality.
High power loads that draw fluctuating current, such as large motor drives
and arc furnaces, cause low frequency cyclic voltage variations that result in
flickering of light sources which can cause significant problems with the
stability of electrical devices and electronic circuits.
CONCLUSION
The design and application of STATCOM technology based on voltage-source
converters for voltage flicker mitigation is discussed in this paper.
Mitigation is done in three stages and the results are compared and contrasted.
First, FCTCR is used to compensate for the voltage flicker, then a 6- pulse
voltage-source converter STATCOM and finally a 12- pulse STATCOM based
on voltage-source converter equipped with an RLC filter are designed for
complete voltage flicker compensation without harmonics.
