This paper investigates the steady state performance of STATCOM based on 6 pulse voltage sourced converter by which the stator flux oriented vector control of terminal voltage for SEIG is obtained. The complete digital simulation of the STATCOM and wind turbine, self excited induction generator (SEIG) are performed using the power system blockset (PSB) while the control system blockset is modeled using simulink. To increase the transient stability conditions of the generator a statcom is introduced as the active VAR supporter. The paper qualifies and quantifies the improved short term voltage and rotor stability performance obtained when a STATCOM is introduced during different types of failure events in the connected power system.
