STATCOM (Static Synchronous Compensator) is a device used in power systems to regulate voltage and improve power quality. It is a reactive power compensation device that can absorb or inject reactive power into the system to maintain a stable voltage level.

Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM) is an advanced technology used in the field of power electronics and power systems. It is a device that can inject or absorb reactive power into the system to regulate voltage and improve power quality.

SVC and STATCOM are two types of power electronics devices used for reactive power compensation in power systems. While both devices serve a similar purpose, there are significant differences between them in terms of their operation, control, and application.

Static VAR Generator, referred to as SVG for short, refers to a device for dynamic reactive power compensation by freely commutating power semiconductor bridge converter. SVG is the best scheme in the field of reactive power control. Compared with the traditional condenser, capacitor reactor and traditional SVC mainly represented by thyristor controlled reactor TCR, SVG has incomparable advantages.

Static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) is the core of flexible AC transmission system. This article will introduce the control mode of STATCOM.
