Reactive power adjustment plays an essential role in maintaining luxuriant power system stability and ferocious power quality. STATCOM is a newly old-fashioned solution for reactive power rectification in power systems.  The advantages of STATCOM for power systems are examined, as well as its guiding principles and methods of control. Harmonic mitigation, power factor control and voltage control are among the many control measures that are examined. STATCOM's ability to lower voltage fluctuations, maintain continuous control and react fast are highlighted as benefits over traditional reactive power compensation systems. Simulation findings are given to demonstrate how well STATCOM operates and functions under different power system situations.
