A Voltage-Controlled DSTATCOM for Power-Quality Improvement

A Voltage-Controlled DSTATCOM for Power-Quality Improvement Abstract: This paper proposes a new algorithm to generate reference voltage for a distribution static compensator (DSTATCOM) operating in voltage-control mode. The proposed scheme exhibits several advantages compared to traditional voltage-controlled DSTATCOM where the reference voltage is arbitrarily taken as 1.0 p.u. The proposed scheme ensures that unity power […]


A New Control Strategy for Distributed Static Compensators Considering Transmission Reactive Flow Constraints

A New Control Strategy for Distributed Static Compensators Considering Transmission Reactive Flow Constraints Abstract: This paper presents a new control strategy for a distributed static compensator (also known as distributed STATCOM or DSTATCOM), configured to regulate the reactive (VAr) flow at a point in a transmission system. This new control strategy takes into account the […]
