In this paper, a new application of STATCOM in HVDC system with low short-circuit ratio SCR has been proposed to solve the disturbance faults due to the interaction between HVDC and AC systems. These interactions generate inevitable drawbacks such as high temporary overvoltage’s, low-frequency resonances, risks of voltage instability, long fault recovery times and risk of development of commutation failures. In this paper, the treatment of the phase opening fault at inverter side is studied by integrating of the STATCOM device in HVDC connection. The choice of this application has been justified by several tests at inverter AC side, and this with the aim of improving the performance of the system against commutation failures, re-establishment of functioning and limits the impact of this fault.
The performance of the proposed system has been validated by several simulation results under MATLAB / SIMULINK.
