Abstract
As DG connections grow, distribution system voltage stability is threatened. Reactive power compensators like static synchronous compensators (STATCOM) can handle voltage stability degradation. STATCOM's complex distribution architecture makes placement difficult. If installed at the wrong place, economic efficiency and availability may suffer. This study proposes Virtual STATCOM Configuration and Control to make several DGs act as a single STATCOM. The proposed Virtual STATCOM uses existing facilities without constructing new power facilities, making it cost-effective and solves the problem of the distribution system's complexity making it hard to identify an installation location. The Virtual STATCOM controls numerous DGs attached to the system to alter the Point of Common Coupling (PCC) power quality, whereas the standard STATCOM controls the access point's power quality separately. Linear programming is used to configure the Virtual STATCOM integrated control algorithm to compensate for distance between the DG and PCC, inverter capacity, and power generation.
