What is it about?

A new control strategy based on model predictive current control (MPCC) for control voltage in smart grid distribution system connected with distributed generators (DGs) such as wind turbine and photovoltaic using Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM) is proposed in this paper.

Why is it important?

The proposed strategy regulates the instantaneous power in STATCOM to improve voltage quality in smart grid under unbalanced grid conditions

Perspectives

• Controlling STATCOM to inject/ absorb reactive power to the grid according to Grid needs taking into consideration its constraints. • Dealing with all grid imbalance voltage issues with fast and flexible dynamic behavior. • Overcomeing the challenge of operating DGs in a distribution system. • Adjusting STATCOM before changing the output set point and taking action smoother and closer to optimal value.
