b) DVR and UPQC
c) DVR and UPFC
d) UPQC and UPFC

5. The interfacing step-down transformer is generally used in STATCOM to

a) eliminate harmonics due to the voltage source converter

c) to prevent the STATCOM under the fault conditions


d) to enable the STATCOM operation in inductive mode of compensation

d) To reduce the rating of the STATCOM required

(a) The stability margin increases by using STATCOM
(b) The stability margin decreases by using STATCOM
(c) For same ratings of SVC and STATCOM, SVC provides greater stability margin
(d) For same ratings of SVC and STATCOM, the stability margin is same
7. Mark the correct statement among the following

voltage conditions.
(b) The reactive power support that a STATCOM can provide is dependent on the system/ bus voltage.
(c) The STATCOM operates in capacitive mode of operation if the magnitude of its output voltage
is less than the system/ bus voltage.
(d) The STATCOM operates in capacitive mode of operation if the magnitude of its output
voltage is greater than the system/ bus voltage.

(a) modulating the frequency of STATCOM output voltage
(b) modulating the magnitude of STATCOM output voltage
(c) injecting active power into the system
(d) by varying the susceptance of the STATCOM
9) Consider a 3-phase, lossless, balanced transmission system equipped with a STATCOM at 220 kV
bus. The STATCOM is connected through a step-down transformer of leakage reactance 𝑋𝜎 𝑝. 𝑢.
The STATCOM injects 400 kVAr reactive power into the system corresponding to the STATCOM
output voltage of 𝑉𝑐 = 1.05 𝑝. 𝑢., referred to the grid side of the step-down transformer. Consider
the bus voltage remains constant at 𝑉 = 1 𝑝. 𝑢., determine the STATCOM output voltage for which
the reactive power injection is increased by 100 kVAr.
(a) 220 kV
(b) 233.75 kV
(c) 206.25 kV
(d) 222.75 kV
Sol:
Let the reactive power injected by STATCOM into the system is 𝑄.
We know that,
𝑄 ∝ 𝑉𝑐 − 𝑉
𝑄1 𝑉𝑐1 − 𝑉
⇒ =
𝑄2 𝑉𝑐2 − 𝑉
400 1.05 − 1
⇒ =
400 + 100 𝑉𝑐2 − 1
⇒ 𝑉𝑐2 = 1.0625 𝑝. 𝑢.
⇒ 𝑉𝑐2 = 1.0625 × 220 = 233.75 𝑘𝑉

10) Consider the system with STATCOM given in Q9. If the reactance of step-down transformer (𝑋𝜎 )
is 0.1 𝑝. 𝑢., determine the per unit current (𝐼) injected by the STATCOM corresponding to the
reactive power injection of 500 kVAr. (Consider base kVA as 500).
(a) 1.00 p.u.
(b) 0.0625 p.u.
(c) 0.625 p.u.
(d) 1.625 p.u.

Sol:
Corresponding to 500 kVAr reactive power injection, the STATCOM voltage is 1.0625 p.u.
We know,
𝑉̅ ∠0° = 𝑗𝐼 𝑋
̅ 𝜎 + 𝑉̅𝑐 ∠0°

⇒ 𝑗0.1𝐼 ̅ = 1 − 1.0625
⇒ 𝐼 ̅ = 0.625∠90° 𝑝. 𝑢.
⇒ 𝐼 = |𝐼 |̅ = 0.625 𝑝. 𝑢.
