Modeling and simulation of D-STATCOM for voltage regulations

This paper gives the State Space modeling of Distribution Static Synchronous Compensator (D-STATCOM). It is important to keep the voltage constant in the distribution system, hence voltage regulation is required in the distribution network. Voltage Source Converter (VSC) based D-STATCOM achieves voltage regulation in the connected bus by absorbing/supplying the required reactive power. The capability of the DSTATCOM is demonstrated by simulation using MATLAB.
