Detailed Documentation

MATLAB-simulated STATCOM (Static Synchronous Compensator) is an active filtering device used in power systems. It provides reactive power compensation by controlling current and voltage to enhance power system stability and voltage quality. The STATCOM connects the power system to the grid through a voltage source inverter, achieving current injection and voltage regulation functions by controlling the inverter's output current. In MATLAB implementation, this typically involves PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) control algorithms and dq-axis transformation techniques for precise current reference tracking. The device plays a vital role in voltage control and reactive power regulation in modern power systems, making it an essential component. Key simulation aspects include designing the DC-link capacitor, implementing closed-loop current controllers, and configuring harmonic filtering components using MATLAB/Simulink's Power Systems toolbox.
