Performance Evaluation of Three Different Configurations of DSTATCOM with Nonlinear Loads

Pages 313-326 | Published online: 01 Sep 2014
 

Abstract

This paper deals with three different configurations of Distribution Static Synchronous Compensator (DSTATCOM) for distribution system. Detailed analysis, modeling, design and control are discussed for each configuration of DSTATCOM. MATLAB based models are developed for improving power factor/voltage regulation and neutral current compensation. Results show a marked reduction in total harmonic distortion (THD) of supply current levels when applied to nonlinear loads. Dynamics of systems are reported with sudden load addition or removal and performance of system is demonstrated in detail.
