...Swagat Pati; Kanungo Barada Mohanty; Sanjeeb Kumar Kar Purpose The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the suitability and robustness of sliding mode controller (SMC) for maintaining flat voltage profile at the load bus of two different micro-grid systems using STATCOM. Design/methodology...

... system using STATCOM. Design/methodology/approach A STATCOM is used to improve the voltage profile of the load bus. The performance of the STATCOM is evaluated by using three different controllers: PI controllers, FLCs and SMCs. The performance comparison of the controllers is done with different dc...
