Distribution System Power Quality Improvement Using D-STATCOM
Abstract
Power quality can be explained as the set of limits defined for a system’s electrical parameters so that
the whole electrical system can function in its intended manner & performs without significant losses.
Power quality constraints like power factor correction, voltage regulation, load balancing, and harmonic
elimination can be maintained and fixed using Distribution Static Compensator (DSTATCOM). In the presented
work, author has presented a detailed comparative study of three different effective control strategies
for DSTATCOM to target reactive rower compensation and Total Harmonic Distortion (THD). The results
are demonstrated in details using simulation performed in MATLAB-SIMULINK software which shows the
good capability of these different control algorithms to provide good power quality for electrical system.
