Abstract
STATCOM is an equipment that belongs to Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) family of devices that was recently incorporated into operations in Panama’s power transmission network. This state-of-the-art application differs of other conventional methods used for voltage and reactive power control strategies for its fastest switching time, improving the transient stability in case of disturbances in the transmission network, and improving power transmission constraints. This document outlines the steps required and overcome major challenges to implement these devices into our system, overview some of its components, its operation, and the results that validate the robustness of the control system applied to the compensator.
