A static compensator (STATCOM), also known as static synchronous
compensator, is a member of the flexible alternating current
transmission system (FACTS) devices. It is a power-electronics
based regulating device which is composed of a voltage source
converter (VSC) and is shunt-connected to alternating current
electricity transmission and distribution networks. The voltage
source is created from a DC capacitor and the STATCOM can exchange
reactive power with the network. It can also supply some active
power to the network, if a DC source of power is connected across
the capacitor. A STATCOM is usually installed in the electric
networks with poor power factor or poor voltage regulation to
improve these problems. In addition, it is used to improve the
voltage stability of a network. This book covers STATCOMs from
different aspects. Different converter topologies, output filters
and modulation techniques utilized within STATCOMs are reviewed.
Mathematical modeling of STATCOM is presented in detail and
different STATCOM control strategies and algorithms are discussed.
Modified load flow calculations for a power system in the presence
of STATCOMs are presented. Several applications of STATCOMs in
transmission and distribution networks are discussed in different
examples and optimization techniques for defining the optimal
location and ratings of the STATCOMs in power systems are reviewed.
Finally, the performance of the network protection scheme in the
presence of STATCOMs is described. This book will be an excellent
resource for postgraduate students and researchers interested in
grasping the knowledge on STATCOMs.
This book highlights the cutting-edge research on energy management
within smart grids with significant deployment of Plug-in Electric
Vehicles (PEV). These vehicles not only can be a significant
electrical power consumer during Grid to Vehicle (G2V) charging
mode, they can also be smartly utilized as a controlled source of
electrical power when they are used in Vehicle to Grid (V2G)
operating mode. Electricity Price, Time of Use Tariffs, Quality of
Service, Social Welfare as well as electrical parameters of the
network are all different criteria considered by the researchers
when developing energy management techniques for PEVs. Risk averse
stochastic energy hub management, maximizing profits in ancillary
service markets, power market bidding strategies for fleets of
PEVs, energy management of PEVs in the presence of renewable energy
in distribution lines or microgrids and loss minimization in
distribution networks based on smart coordination approaches using
real time energy prices are some of the attractive and novel topics
explored in this book. It will be an excellent reference for
graduate students, researchers and industry professionals who are
interested in getting a snapshot view of today's latest research on
applying various smart energy management strategies for smart grids
with high penetration of PEVs.
This book covers the recent research advancements in the area of
charging strategies that can be employed to accommodate the
anticipated high deployment of Plug-in Electric Vehicles (PEVs) in
smart grids. Recent literature has focused on various potential
issues of uncoordinated charging of PEVs and methods of overcoming
such challenges. After an introduction to charging coordination
paradigms of PEVs, this book will present various ways the
coordinated control can be accomplished. These innovative
approaches include hierarchical coordinated control, model
predictive control, optimal control strategies to minimize load
variance, smart PEV load management based on load forecasting,
integrating renewable energy sources such as photovoltaic arrays to
supplement grid power, using wireless communication networks to
coordinate the charging load of a smart grid and using market price
