Abstract—The static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) is one of the developed converter-based flexible AC transmission systems (FACTS) controllers, recently. The STATCOM is shunts with power system and can absorb/deliver reactive power from/to power systems. In this paper, to power flow control in power system by STATCOM, a controller based on neural networks (NNs) have been designed; i.e. multilayer perceptron (MLP). The designed controller has been compared with two conventional controllers; i.e. PI and PID controllers. Influence of each controller on injected active power, injected reactive power and injected current by STATCOM have been analyzed. Three control parameters have used as decision criteria; i.e. peak time, fall time, peak value, fall value and site time. Simulations are performed in MATLAB/SIMULINK environment.
Index Terms—Power Flow Control, static synchronous compensator (statcom), multilayer Perceptron (MLP).
