  In this article, we propose reactive compensation for the PV integrated grid
system using a STATCOM and a fixed capacitor bank. This paper presents a design
calculation for a PV integrated grid system with a fixed capacitor and STATCOM.
The proposed system is simulated and tested using the MATLAB Simulink software
package. The suggested system has been evaluated under a variety of operating
circumstances, including changing solar PV array irradiance and changing
reactive load power. Detailed simulation and comparisons between the fixed
capacitor and STATCOM represented.
