This paper presents a nonlinear controller design for a DSTATCOM connected to a distribution network with distributed generation (DG) to regulate the line voltage by providing reactive power compensation. The controller is designed based on the partial feedback linearization which transforms the nonlinear system into a reduced-order linear system and an autonomous system whose dynamics are know...

The Static Synchronous Compensators (STATCOMs) have been recoginzed as the most effective solution for dynamic reactive power compensation, voltage stability enhancement and subsynchronous resonance damping purposes in the electric power systems. The STATCOMs in the distribution utilites (DSTATCOMs) are increasingly investigated for dynamic reactive power compensation and power quality improvem...

This paper presents modeling and analysis of 12-phase distribution static compensator (DSTATCOM), which is capable of balancing the source currents in spite of unbalanced loading and phase outages. In addition to balance the supply current, the power factor can be set to a desired value. The theory of instantaneous symmetrical components is used to generate the twelve-phase reference currents. ...

Abstract: Voltage sag is considered to be the most serious problem of power quality. It is caused by faults in the power system or by the starting of large induction motors. Voltage sag causes about 80% of the power quality problems in power systems. One of the main reasons for voltage sag is short circuit fault, which can be compensated for by a distribution static compensator (DSTATCOM) as an...

Photovoltaic systems have been increasingly used in the generation of electrical energy because of the cost of energy produced from fossil fuels is rising day to-day and there by photovoltaic energy becomes a promising alternative source for fossil fuels. Power quality is the major problem that occurs between grid to end user transmission lines. DSTATCOM is the one of the power quality compensa...

Custom power is a technology driven product and service solution which embraces a family devices such as Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR), Distributed Shunt Compensator (DSTATCOM), Solid State Breaker (SSB) etc which will provide power quality functions at distribution voltages. The rapid response of these devices enables them to operate in real time, providing continuous and dynamic control of t...

The instantaneous response of the distribution static compensator (DSTATCOM) is very important while compensating rapidly varying balanced, unbalanced and nonlinear loads. Any change in the load affects the dc-link voltage directly. The proper operation of DSTATCOM requires variation of the dc-link voltage within the prescribed limits. Conventionally, a proportional-integral (PI) controller is ...

This work develops the analysis of power quality by H-bridge Static Distribution Compensator (DSTATCOM) as well its control techniques in different industry-based loading conditions. The function DSTATCOM is to diminish problems arising due commercial industrial loads.
