PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF PI BASED STATCOM FOR THE 132 KV TRANSMISSION LINE

This paper presents simulation model of the 132KV transmission line with PI based STATCOM. The STATCOM being the state - of - the - art VSC based dynamic shunt compensator in FACTS family is u sed now a days in transmission system for reactive power control, increase of power transfer capacity, voltage regulation etc. Such type of controller is applied at the middle of the transmission line to enhance the power transmission capacity of the line. The simulation result show that the STATCOM is effective improve the power factor and voltage regulation for the 138kV line loading.
