Abstract
This paper enlightens the one of the flexible ac transmission devices (FACTS) i.e. static synchronous compensator which is also abbreviated as STATCOM. The power system consists of number of various generators, loads, voltage sources, current sources, electrical machines, motor, etc. If any fault occurs on the power system, it will cause disturbances in the power system. These disturbances will cause harm not only to the power system but also to the equipments and machines we are using in the power system if proper controllable measures are not taken. STATCOM is shunt connected in the power system which can absorb or inject reactive power from or into the power system respectively during faults as well as normal conditions. Various modulation techniques are present in the literature which is used for controlling the gate pulses of the thyristor switches of the compensator. The working of STATCOM and the modulation techniques required or controlling its pulses are reviewed in this paper.
