Mitigation of power loss in transmission and distribution line using STATCOM

Power loss is a major issue in power system. In this paper Hysteresis Band Current controller based STATCOM is proposed to reduce power loss in transmission system. By compensating the load reactive power, the power loss in the transmission line is mitigated. Controller for STATCOM is designed and analyzed for linear and non-linear type loads. Simulation is carried out through Matlab and the output results are shown.
