Performance of DSTATCOM in Conjunction with DG Operation for Power - Quality Improvement

With the increase in the use of renewable sources, application of Distributed Generation in the distribution
system has acquired more attention. Distributed Generation has become increasingly more accepted since
the demand for reliable and secure power systems with high power quality increases. Distributed generation
will continue to be an effective energy solution under certain conditions and for certain types of customers,
particularly those with needs for emergency power, uninterruptible power. A Distribution static
compensator (DSTATCOM) is a shunt compensation device that is generally used to solve power quality
problems in the distribution systems. In all electric power systems, power quality issues arise due to high
energy demand loads such as pulse loads. In this paper a new algorithm to generate reference voltage for a
distribution static compensator (DSTATCOM) operating in voltage-control mode is preferred. The proposed
scheme ensures that unity power factor (UPF) is achieved at the load terminal during nominal operation. In
this paper, implementing Power quality circuit with voltage source converter in the BLDC Motor drive using
Distributed Generation is developed. Simulation work is performed using MATLAB / SIMULINK
