DESCRIPTION:This presentation provides an overview of STATCOM technology\, 
 focusing on its operating principles and the primary components that enabl
 e dynamic reactive power support. It explains how STATCOMs regulate voltag
 e and support grid stability through power electronics–based control. Th
 e presentation also highlights recent advancements in STATCOM technology\,
  including the integration of energy storage and grid-forming capabilities
 \, and discusses their role in enhancing overall power system performance 
 and stability.\n\nCo-sponsored by: Richard Miller\, Chair Communication So
