PowerFlow Control of Grid Connected PV System using STATCOM

In this project, a solar energy with FACTS controller is presented. The proposed inverter is placed between the PV panel and the grid to regulate active and reactive power transfer to the grid. The capacitor will be charged from the solar source through a boost converter. The voltage obtained by using a boost converter will be applied to the STATCOMs Inverter. The work of this project is to introduce a new ways to increase the penetration of renewable energy into the distribution systems. This STATCOMs is capable of supplying variable reactive power. Thus the different bus systems with Inverter based STATCOMs will be simulated and the results will be presented.
