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...

In power distribution network, distribution static compensator (DSTATCOM) is used for enhancing power quality. This paper investigates the application of DSTATCOM with non-stiff source connected to distribution network to enhance power quality. The model discussed in this paper is designed to have reduced DC-link voltage rating without compromising compensation capability when non-linear loads ...

The device analyzed in this paper is Distribution STATic COMpensator (DSTATCOM). The objective is to focus on the power factor control with the two different control strategies i.e., Indirect and Direct Control Strategies. This paper presents a study about the control strategies of DSTATCOM device and their impact on the dynamic performance of distribution network. Simulation results were prese...

The topology and control are discussed of a distribution static compensator (DSTATCOM) that can be operated flexibly in the voltage or current control mode. In the voltage control mode, the DSTATCOM can force the voltage of a distribution bus to be balanced sinusoids. In the current control mode, it can cancel distortion caused by the load, such that current drawn by the compensated load is pur...

This paper presents the application of DSTATCOM in a distribution network with induction furnace load. Induction furnace is one of the common types of load used in industries like the steel industry. The problem with the induction furnace load is the generation of appreciable amount of harmonic distortion. This distortion results due to the design and operation of the induction furnace. This ha...

This paper presents an investigation of five-Level Cascaded H – bridge (CHB) Inverter as Distribution Static Compensator (DSTATCOM) in Power System (PS) for compensation of reactive power and harmonics. The advantages of CHB inverter are low harmonic distortion, reduced number of switches and suppression of switching losses. The DSTATCOM helps to improve the power factor and eliminate the Total...

The DSTATCOM (Distribution STATic synchronous COMpensator) is being increasingly popular in power system applications. In general, compensation of reactive power in a power distribution network of a power utility and industry plays a major role in reducing distribution loss and maintaining constant distribution voltage. A simple transformation and steady state and transient analysis are achieve...
