MATLAB Simulation of STATCOM Fundamentals with Implementation Code

This document presents fundamental MATLAB simulations for STATCOM (Static Synchronous Compensator) applications in power systems. The simulation employs MATLAB software for power system modeling and analysis, focusing on STATCOM implementation for voltage regulation and stability enhancement. The file demonstrates how to construct power system models using MATLAB's Simulink environment, with specific emphasis on STATCOM component integration. Key implementation aspects include configuring STATCOM parameters such as reactive power compensation levels, voltage reference settings, and control system parameters through MATLAB scripts and Simulink blocks. We detail the simulation execution process, including initialization procedures, solver configuration, and result analysis techniques. The simulation incorporates PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) control algorithms and voltage-source converter topologies typical for STATCOM applications. Additionally, the document discusses practical applications and advantages of STATCOM in modern power systems, such as power factor correction, voltage stability improvement, and transient response enhancement. The MATLAB simulation results can be utilized for power system design optimization, performance validation, and control strategy development through data analysis and waveform interpretation capabilities provided by MATLAB's plotting and measurement tools.
