STATCOM a shunt connected Flexible Alternative Current Systems (FACTS) device using for fast control of voltage and reactive power control in the power grid. To optimize Nouakchott power system at 2030 year, we anticipate both generation and demand grow. A set of nonlinear equations are solved through Newton Raphson method and programmed in PSS/E and MATLAB. The results will be analyzed for two situations, without STATCOM and with STATCOM connected to the grid. The found results show the degree of performance and capacity of STATCOM to reduce the power mismatches, improve the voltage at buses and reduce the harmonics in Nouakchott power system. The impact of the renewable energies to improve transient stability of system will be considered. In the end, the power system is optimized at 2030 year by integration the STATCOM device. It will be generating or absorb reactive power to stabilize the system voltage at 1 pu. That means enhances transits active power thereby providing additional capacity to consumers.
1. Introduction
Electrical networks supply energy between the production site and the customer site, with a required power, a voltage and frequency. According to the standards, the voltage drop in the network is limited to ± 5%. The power plants of Nouakchott consist of multi-sources that supply several loads, located in seven different places in town making a loop of 33 KV. It should be noted that the frequency varies continuously. Variations ± 5% of the nominal frequency affect the stability of network and may lead to load shedding. The voltage level must remain within an authorized range at any point in the network. This will be in all foreseeable production and consumption situations. The proposed goal for this work is to find a solution for load shedding. In this case, we proposed an analysis for both the current and projected production system. That allows us to meet the domestic demand of the Nouakchott 33 KV network. This analysis allows us to reach and maintain the voltage profile in stability margin for the network manager. Before that we modelize the electrical network by its transit capabilities. And analysis its simulation results programmed in MATLAB and PSS/E. The growths of distributed renewable generation (solar, wind, etc) are creating challenges for the power grid stability [1-3]. The intermittence problem of these energies makes us always to seek to solve it. To synchronize renewable energy with conventional energy, to make our system more efficient, it requires a delicate control procedure: frequency, phase sequences, phase angles and magnitudes of all the four independent sources should match exactly. A real time monitoring circuitry is necessary which should turn on and off the sources when the loads reach preset values. Another goal is to optimize Nouakchott power system. The STATCOM device (Static Var Compensator) is a technique for achieving this goal [4, 5]. Per comparison with other types of FACTS (Table 5), STATCOM has been chosen. Thus, to realize predetermined goals, we take the following four steps:
- First step, the single line schematic of the Nouakchott 33 KV loop network is given (Figure 1).
- Secondly, the lines data and voltages (Table 1).
Thirdly generation and load grow are given from 2020 to 2030 years (Tables 2 and 4).
- Thirdly, a mathematical model of power flow equations are solved by Newton Raphson (NR) method, programmed on MATLAB software and PSS/E simulator for two situations (without STATCOM and with STATCOM device) [6-11]. The results of simulations will be following by discussions.
- Last step, a conclusion of the work.
For insertion of the STATCOM device, it is sought a stable power system, even during a disturbance (out limit voltage drop or frequency) to provide the demand power [12, 13]. We notice that FACTS devices are defined by IEEE as “power electronic based controllers and other static equipment which can regulate the power flow and transmission voltage through rapid control action”. Nowadays power system control is based on FACTS devices. STATCOM a shunt connected FACTS device using to rapid voltage and reactive power control, also to reduce harmonics in power system (Table 5). This is realized while keeping constant the frequency to the margin limit of stability and alternators speed rotation also the voltage magnitude in the various network buses [14, 15].
2. Structure of System
2.1. One line diagram of Nouakchott Power Grid
The One –line diagram (Figure.1), represents the 33 KV loop (part of the network). The lines data and initials voltage at each bus, the values of generated and load grow are given in Tables 1 and 2 respectively. The system include eleven(11) transmissions lines, two renewable plants (one wind power ,one solar plant), two thermal plants and 1 Dual fuel plant)and five(5) loads connected at buses 2,4,5,6 and 7 respectively. The active and reactive powers generated are given in MW and MVAR respectively. The voltage at each bus (i) is given in KV. The load bus is characterized by its active power P and reactive power Q. Therefore, (P, Q) are specified, while (V) is to be calculated. In this context, it is proposed for the North bus (1), to be a slack bus. Finally, it should also be noted that a bus is numbered (i) and it is connected to (k) other buses such as those shown in Figure 1[16].

coupling without the need of large external or capacitor banks. The basic voltage source converter diagram is shown in Figure 2.
The Table 5 corresponds to the best choice of STATCOM to optimize the system performance.
3.1. Power Flow Equations of STATCOM Connected to ith bus
Power flow equation of system with STATCOM connected at bus (i) in Figure 1 and is treated as reactive power source:
Hence PSTCi – is a STATCOM’s active power at bus (i) and QSTCi – is a STATCOM’s reactive power at bus (i), Pi – is injected active power at bus (i), Qi – is injected reactive power at bus (i), PDi – is active power demand at bus (i) and QDi – is a reactive power demand at bus (i), PGi – is a generator’s active power at bus (i), QGi – is a generator’s reactive power at bus (i).
Equations (1) and (2) represent a case where STATCOM generate reactive power at bus (i) if for reactive power absorption, the signs of QSTCi will be reversed (positive).
The solution of nonlinear power flow equations (1) and (2) is numerical methods. However, the adopted method in this work is the Newton-Raphson (NR). The specifications of this method, its faster rate of convergence and accuracy, when compared with others methods as Gauss-Seidel (GS), coupled NR, decoupled NR or Gauss method. We notice this comparison of NR with Gauss Seidel: NR indifferent for choice of slack bus while GS is critical, the resolution of NR with polar coordinates while GS is with rectangular form, the number of iterations is less for NR (4 iterations) compared with GS (16 iterations), with broader systems larger for NR than GS. So the convergence time is lees for GS (0.05 seconds) than NR (0.22 seconds) and the GS resolution is simpler than NR (see Table 6).
In the Table 6 below is given the comparison of the two best numerical methods. These two are important indicators to analyze the quality of the studied network. And also demonstrates the optimal choice of NR method for our work.
3.2. Modeling of STATCOM
So below is presented the basic schematic and Thevenin’s equivalent circuit of STATCOM respectively, the fundamental frequency operation of the switched mode voltage source inverter and its transformer (Figure 2).
Figure 2: (a) Basic Schematic; (b) Equivalent Circuit [17, 18]
We define STACOM voltage by the equation (3):
Hence VSTC – is a STATCOM’s voltage, ISTC – is STATCOM’s current, ZSC – is transformer’s impedance.
The voltages constraints of STATCOM and at bus (i) are given in equation (4)
Where VSTC (min) and VSTC (max) are minimum and maximum STATCOM’s voltages, Vi (min) and Vi (max) are minimum and maximum voltages values at bus (i).
Equation (3) is transformed into a power flow expression for STATCOM and power injected at bus (i) by equations (5) and (6) respectively:
Hence SSTC – is a STATCOM’s apparent power, I*STC – is a STATCOM’s complex conjugate current, V*STC – is a STATCOM’s complex conjugate voltage, Y*SC – is a complex conjugate of short-circuit admittance.
The voltages in rectangular coordinates system are expressed as equations (7) and (8) respectively:
Where ei – is a active component of voltage at bus (i), fi – is a imaginary component of voltage at bus (i), eSTC – is a active component of STATCOM’s voltage, fSTC – is a imaginary component of STATCOM’s voltage.
The STATCOM’s voltage magnitude and angle are expressed as equations (9) and (10) respectively:
The active and reactive power components for the STATCOM and bus (i) on the basis of equations (7) to (10) are respectively expressed by equations (11) to (14):
Where PSTC – is a STATCOM’s active power, QSTC – is a STATCOM’s reactive power, GSC – is a short-circuit conductance, BSC – is a short-circuit susceptance.
The Newton-Raphson set of linearized equations for power flow equations (5), (6), (11) and (12) obtained taken into consideration the modeling of shunt-connected STATCOM at bus (i) is given by equation (15):
The partial derivatives of the Jacobian matrix are defined as following: (expression (16))

It demonstrates the improved values at the following buses: the voltage magnitude for the bus 2 at 0, 80 (value out stability margin) to 0, 97 pu and their angle at -5, 6 to -11, 1 degree.

5. Conclusions
The simulation results of load flow program on PSS/E Simulator using the NR method have been done.
The main information obtained is the stability exceeding limits at all buses voltage of system except the slack bus (Table 4).
After insertion of STATCOM the voltage for all buses has been improved to the stability limit (Table 7).
The voltages at buses (5, 3 and 7) where connected the renewable plants have improved in limit of stability after insertion of STATCOM
The power mismatch was being reduced after insertion of STATCOM (Table 8).
The novelty is that the studied network presents four different sources in Figure 1. This network undergoes very common load shedding. The cause of these load shedding can be due to the load growth at the nodes. But it can be caused by the presence of clouds or when there is no wind to turn the blades, or non-rainy periods in the Sahel countries. In order to remedy this situation of load shedding, STATCOM has been proposed as a solution.
The STATCOM will replace also the conventional system compensation of reactive power (as shunt capacitor or series capacitor…).
The expected disturbances and the poor power quality problems of the studied power system, at 2030 year, were solved by integration of STATCOM that is able generate or absorb reactive power and maintain the voltage at 1pu. The following areas are proposed or put in mind:
Other FACTS controller can also be incorporated along the STATCOM and their effect on the system can be studied [17, 18].
Optimal location of STATCOM can be found out using Genetic Algorithm and fuzzy logic.
Economic Assessment of FACTS devices versus other methods can be studied.
