Devolution of the power grid into smart was necessitated by proliferation sensitive load profiles system, as well incessant environmental challenges. These two factors culminated aggravated disturbances that cause serious havoc along entire system structure. The traditional proportional-plus-integral-plus-derivative (PID) solution offered distribution synchronous compensator (DSTATCOM) could no...

Quality of power has always been an area of interest and needs continuous improvement for transmission and distribution system. In this paper the power quality issues viz. sag and swell are being analysed for a distribution network. The effectiveness of DSTATCOM has been explored so that these above said power quality issues are mitigated up to a considerable extent. The behaviour of the device...

This paper presents the performance analysis of asymmetrical cascaded H-bridge multilevel inverter based DSTATCOM in the distribution network. For this, seven level asymmetrical cascaded inverter based DSTATCOM is proposed for the compensation of 11 kV distribution network. The paper also presents the comparative analysis for different asymmetric inverters. For this, 7,9,11 and 13 levels with u...

This article presents an optimal placement and sizing of distribution static compensator (DSTATCOM) in radial networks as multi-objective optimization with the objective power loss reduction, voltage profile improvement network reliability considering different variable demands using whale algorithm (WOA). The WOA is inspired by hunting behavior humpback whales. location size DSTATCOM are consi...

The efficiency of electrical distribution systems is being more affected by the increase in voltage drops and power losses. These issues drop loss can be significantly minimized incorporation a Distribution Static Compensator (DSTATCOM) network. However, inappropriate positioning sizing DSTATCOM undermine its efficiency. Despite contributions many researchers to optimal placement other compensa...

Increased electric energy demand is the major factor that cracks researchers to focus on electrical meet challenge. Accordingly, power loss should be minimized. Due this, Distribution Flexible Alternating Current Transmission System (DFACTS) and Distributed Generation (DG) must placed in an appropriate way distribution systems. Fuzzy-Lightning Search Algorithm (FLSA) has been proposed minimize ...

The enhancement in electric power quality using a single-stage solar PV integrated Unified Power Quality Conditioner (UPQC) has been discussed this paper. UPQC is the combination of Distributed static compensator (DSTATCOM) and Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR) having common DC voltage supply link. DSTATCOM compensates for load current associated problems like factor improvement, even odd harmonic...
