    Assessing STATCOM-Enabled Reactive Power Control in Fragile Power Transmission Systems: A Case Study Perspective
    (International Information and Engineering Technology Association, 2024) Almamoori, M.; Almaktar, M.; Khaleel, M.; Mohamed, F.; Elbreki, A.
    The burgeoning energy demands induced by modern civilization necessitate the procurement of additional electrical energy reserves to effectively address this escalating challenge. However, the installation of new power generation units necessitates building/upgrade of accompanying transmission infrastructure, a task fraught with complexities. To augment the loading capacity of existing transmission lines, power engineers have devised efficient solutions, one of which involves the integration of novel devices. This paper delves into the management of reactive power within vulnerable transmission networks, focusing particularly on the pivotal role of Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) devices. Among the diverse array of FACTS technologies engineered to fortify grid resilience, the Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM) which emerges as a transformative asset. The paper explores the integration of STATCOM within the 132 kV transmission network of the Diyala city ring power system to enhance its stability and operational efficiency. Simulations of the Diyala power network and load flow analysis were conducted using MATLAB/Simulink environment. The results unveiled a notable enhancement in power quality upon the integration of STATCOM, as compared to the base scenario devoid of such augmentation. These findings bear significant implications, offering valuable insights for the Iraqi grid operator and other nations grappling with analogous challenges pertaining to frail power networks. Incorporating such advanced devices into national electrical systems could potentially mitigate operational inefficiencies, defer infrastructure investment and bolster overall grid resilience. © 2024 The authors.
