A Review on Power Quality Improvement Using D-STATCOM

Srikrishna Agnihotri, Shobhna Jain

Abstract


Increasing awareness and concerns regarding unacceptable power quality are causing a
growing interest in custom power devices, used to improve power quality on distribution
level. One of the most interesting types of custom power devices, due to its exibility and fast
control, is the shunt-connected voltage source converter (VSC), also known as the static
synchronous compensator (STATCOM). And when this compensator used in distribution
system it is known as Distribution STATCOM i.e. DSTATCOM. This work deals with the
review on control, performance and applications of STATCOMs equipped with energy
storage for power quality improvements.
Keywords: Power electronics, voltage source converter (VSC), distribution static
synchronous compensator (DSTATCOM), energy storage, power quality, dynamic loads
