STATCOM Simulation Model with Hysteresis Control Implementation

This presents an alternative STATCOM simulation model utilizing hysteresis control implementation. The model finds applications in power systems where it enhances system stability and reliability through improved power quality. In this implementation, hysteresis control regulates the STATCOM's output voltage, enabling more precise system voltage control. The control algorithm switches the converter's IGBTs when the current error exceeds predefined upper and lower hysteresis bands, maintaining current within specified boundaries. Furthermore, the model supports integration of advanced control algorithms like PI controllers or fuzzy logic for optimized performance, better addressing power system requirements. Through this simulation approach, engineers can gain deeper insights into power system operational principles while developing improved control and management strategies. The model structure typically includes voltage measurement blocks, hysteresis comparators, and PWM signal generators implemented through MATLAB/Simulink power electronics components.
