ABSTRACT

This paper investigates performance of Static Synchronous Compensator for the transient stability improvement of the two area multi machine electrical power system with nonlinear load. The improvement of transient stability of a two-area multi-machine power system, by using STATCOM (Static Synchronous Compensator) which is a superior Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) tool capable of controlling the active and reactive power flowing in a transmission line by controlling appropriate parameters. Simulations are accompanied in Matlab/Simulink environment for the two-area multi-machine power system model with and without STATCOM to analyze the effects of STATCOM on transient stability performance of the system under the different conditions with and without nonlinear load. The simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness and hardiness of the proposed STATCOM on transient stability improvement of the system for the nonlinear load.
