Abstract

The principle of a three phase solid state VAR compensation (SSVC) system that uses a three-phase pulse width-modulated (PWM) Voltage-Source Inverter (VSI) is presented and analyzed. The proposed SSVC system can compensate for leading and lagging displacement power factor and the PWM is used as a means of reducing the size of reactive components. The significant aspect of the presented VAR compensator is the adjustment of the angle difference between the static fundamental circuit output voltage and the utility supply voltage in order to optimize the alternating current (a.c.) power factor to a non-linear load. The SSVC system is analyzed under self-controlled DC bus voltage operating conditions. Other areas of investigation include the design of SSVC reactive components. The dynamic analysis is carried out in a d-q reference frame to verify the performance of the VAR compensator in terms of speed of response and stability. Analysis and stability plots generated confirm a high performance static VAR compensator. Finely, the findings of present research work were found within good agreement with some other workers.
