STATCOM and Enhanced STATCOM Technology

The increased and varying technology applications of power-electronic based devices in power networks has led to many new challenges in a new frontier of electrical infrastructure. The widespread and necessary proliferation of inverter-based renewable generation, dynamic shunt compensation, series compensation and HVDC presents opportunities for the definition of terms, technologies, applications, studies and processes. This panel session will discuss some innovative ideas as well as some implementation experiences with regards to these technologies. Some major topics that are proposed to be discussed are: A. The history, background and evolution of the STATCOM B. The Hybrid STATCOM C. Grid-forming and Grid-following technologies and applications D. STATCOM Active Filtering Experience - Xcel Energy E. STATCOM Active Filtering Experience - AEP F. STATCOM Active Filtering Experience - EPRI G. STATCOM Active Filtering Experience - Dominion Presentations in this panel session: - 23PESGM3872-The history, background and evolution of the STATCOM - 23PESGM3876-STATCOM Active Filtering Experience - AEP - 23PESGM3877-STATCOM Active Filtering Experience - EPRI
