In modern power system, the switching devices are generally used in combination with unbalanced reactive loads which produces current related Power Quality (PQ) problems by making source currents distorted and unbalanced. Usually a STATCOM is installed to support electricity networks that have a poor power factor and often poor voltage regulation. A Distribution Static Compensator (DSTATCOM) op...

Abstract: Three-phase two-level voltage source converters are used for distribution static compensator (DSTATCOM) applications and can be replaced by a multilevel inverter. In this paper, an LCL filter interfaced cascaded H-bridge multilevel inverter-based (CHBMLI) DSTATCOM is simulated and its performance is analyzed considering the system parameters. The analysis considers factors including t...

Abstract In this paper design of self tuned fuzzy set theory based PI controller is incorporated in typical FACTS device DSTATCOM. Its effects are tested in power systems. The modeling and the controller block diagram for DSTATCOM with detailed design of self tuned fuzzy logic controller is presented. The performance of proposed fuzzy logic DSTATCOM has been simulated for current balancing and ...

This project presents reactive power compensation in a distribution power system. DSTATCOM (distribution static compensator) is a reactive power compensator for power quality improvement in a three phase four wire distribution system. A voltage source converter (VSC) based DSTATCOM with a zig-zag transformer is used for the compensation of reactive power for voltage regulation along with load b...

This paper discusses the dynamic performance and the modeling of a DSTATCOM with Capacitor Bank (CB) and Ultra Capacitor Energy Storage (UCES) considering their equivalent series resistance for improving the operation of power quality in power distribution system. The proposed integrated DSTATCOM system is studied for riding through voltage sags and dynamically controlling active power independ...

This article presents a study scenario composed of a fixed speed wind turbine and a DStatcom with battery storage, connected to the distribution grid as an isolated system. The aim of the study is to demonstrate by means of simulating results how the DStatcom with storage can be a solution for a larger and better integration of the intermittent energy produced by DG in the electrical grid. In t...

In this paper presents a fast new PI controlled DSTATCOM used to compensate for harmonic distortion in threephase system. The DSTATCOM employs a simple Method for the calculation of the reference compensation current based. The presented DSTATCOM is able to operate in balanced, unbalanced and Variable load conditions. Classic filters may not have satisfactory performance in fast varying conditi...

This paper presents a comprehensive survey on the mitigation of power quality problems such as low power factor, shortage of reactive power, poor voltage, voltage and current harmonics due to sudden change in field excitation of synchronous alternator, sudden increased in load, sudden fault occur in the system are solved by FACTS controllers such as STATCOM, DSTATCOM, and DSTATCOM. This paper a...

To meet with the ever-enhancing load demands, new transmission lines should be bolted-on in the existing power system but the economic and environmental concerns are major constraints to this addition. Hence utilities have to rely on the existent power system infrastructure with some modifications. To enhance controllability and boost power transfer potential of the existing power system the us...

In distribution system (DS), the majority of power consumption has been drawn in reactive loads. These loads are drawn in low power factor and therefore give rise to reactive power burden in the distribution system. So that DSTATCOM controller is used to compensate reactive power, correction of power factor and elimination of current harmonics. This paper presence the 7-Level Cascaded Hbridge I...
