文摘In this paper a new method has been proposed to decide optimal placement and best sizing of STATCOM (static synchronous compensator). The best place of STATCOM is found using the sensitivity analysis and optimum sizing of STATCOM is managed using the genetic algorithm. The average model can account for the high-frequency effects and power electronic losses, and more accurately predict the active and reactive power outputs of the STATCOM. This paper employs the DIgSILENT simulator and DPL (DIgSILENT programming language) as a programming tool of the DIgSILENT to show the validity of the proposed method. The effectiveness of suggested approach has been tested on part of the distribution network of Iran, Khoramdarreh city in Zanjan province.
