The problem of large disturbance attenuation in the single-machine infinite-bus system with a static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) is proposed to be alleviated by an improved robust backstepping algorithm, which utilises error compensation and sliding mode variable structure control methods to achieve stability. For STATCOM systems with internal and external disturbances, the adaptive backstepping method is used to construct the storage function, and a non-linear $L 2$ gain interference rejection controller and parameter substitution law are applied simultaneously. The improved method differs from the traditional adaptive backstepping design in terms of error-compensation design methodology, in order to ensure robustness and insensitivity to large disturbances of the STATCOM system, and furthermore, preserving useful non-linearities and the real-time estimation of uncertain parameters. Finally, a simulation demonstrates that the improved method is more efficient than traditional adaptive backstepping with respect to the speed of adaptation and the response of the STATCOM system. Hence, the effectiveness and practicality of the proposed control method is demonstrated by engineers in applications.
