Improved SRFT controller based Power Quality Improvement in EV integrated distribution system

The increasing penetration of EVs in the transportation sector has led to their integration with the power grid. However, the charging of EVs can cause power quality issues such as voltage fluctuations, harmonics, and power factor problems. DSTATCOM is a device that can mitigate these issues by compensating for reactive power and harmonic distortions in the distribution system. The proposed system integrates the DSTATCOM with the EV charging station and controls the power flow between the two devices. The DSTATCOM is designed to regulate the voltage at the charging station and compensate for any reactive power or harmonic distortions caused by the charging load. DSTATCOM is controlled by new Improved SRFT controller. The proposed system is simulated in MATLAB/Simulink and tested under different loading conditions. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed system effectively improves power quality in the distribution system by regulating the voltage, reducing harmonics, and improving the power factor.
