Q. STATCOM is a :

A
variable impedance type shunt compensator
B
variable impedance type series compensator
C
switched converter type shunt compensator
D
switched converter type series compensator
Solution:

The static synchronous series compensator (SSSC) and thyristor-controlled series capacitor (TCSC) are some of the FACTS control devices which provide series compensation to reactance of the lines to which they are connected, while the static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) and static VAR compensator (SVC) (where VAR stands for volt?ampere reactive) are FACTS devices which provide shunt compensation to transmission lines.
