Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM) is a device used in power systems to control voltage and reactive power. In the context of rail transit, STATCOM can serve several purposes: Voltage Regulation: STATCOM can regulate the voltage levels in the rail transit system, ensuring that they remain within acceptable limits. It can compensate for voltage drops or fluctuations caused by various factors ...

STATCOM and Voltage Flicker Mitigation What is votlage flicker? Voltage flicker refers to the rapid and repeated fluctuations in the voltage level of a power supply, which can cause noticeable changes in the intensity of lighting and can affect the performance of other electrical equipment. These fluctuations can be annoying and may lead to operational issues in sensitive equipment Causes of Volta...
