Static synchronous compensator systems and related methods

摘要

Static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) systems and methods are disclosed. An example STATCOM system includes a reactive component configured for electrical connection to a power network. For example, the reactive component may be a capacitor bank. The system also includes an inductor electrically connected in series with the reactive component. Further, the system includes a converter electrically connected in series with the reactive component and the inductor. A method may include using the static synchronous compensator system to provide one of reactive power and active power to the power network.
