Abstract: This study presents the comparative studies in order to evaluate the effects of Static Var Compensator (SVC) and Distribution Static Synchronous Compensator (D-STATCOM) on dynamic and transient performance of Common Shaft Cascaded Induction Motors (CSCIMs) which are commonly used in deep well digging plant (i.e. oil wells). The dynamic and transient events presented in this paper include system starting, supply voltage sag and swell as well as supply disconnection and reconnection. Modeling and simulation results of the presented events are based on well known MATLAB/ Sim Power Systems (SPS) blocks. The simulation results show that the D-STATCOM has a superior performance over SVC.
