| Abstract: | A digital real‐time simulator for power electronics systems has been developed using MATLABTM/SIMULINKTM. This paper describes the modeling and calculation accuracy of static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) models. Since the simulator operates in a large time step of 50 µs, compensation processing is implemented with the STATCOM model to improve the simulation accuracy. The calculation result of the real‐time STATCOM model is the same as that of non‐real‐time PSCADTM/EMTDCTM. Stable operation of the newly developed simulator was successfully confirmed when connected to a commercial real‐time digital simulator (RTDSTM). © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
