Abstract

This paper presents the application of static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) to voltage support in a multi-machine electric power
system. Tabu search (TS) method as a meta-heuristic optimization method is considered for tuning the parameters of STATCOM. To show
effectiveness of STATCOM in voltage support, a multi-machine electric power system installed with STATCOM is considered as case study. The
results are compared with the system without STATCOM. Several nonlinear time-domain simulation tests visibly show the ability of STATCOM
in voltage support.
