Abstract

An abrupt drop in the electrical system’s voltage, known as voltage sag, can be caused by a number of factors, including overloading, line outages, load changes, and system faults. Power system voltage sag can affect the sensitive equipment, cause downtime in specific industries, etc. The 400V supply frequency 50 Hz utility grid connected to the 1KW Solar Photovoltaic plant system integrated Genetic Algorithm (GA) optimized fractional order based STATCOM regulating PWM-VSI has been simulated using MATLAB in this suggested system. A double line to ground (LLG) fault in the 400 V system has been shown to be the cause of voltage sag. The problem has been resolved through the integration of the 400 V system’s SPV plant and GA optimized fractional order STATCOM-tied utility grid.
