Voltage Profile Improvement Using DSTATCOM Based on Artificial Intelligent Techniques

Increasing power electronics technologies convert a traditional power system to be more smart and efficient. One application of these technology a distribution static compensator (DSTATCOM) related to A flexible alternating current transmission system (FACTS). Its a shunt connected on distribution system at the point of common coupling (PCC) used to manage and control the reactive power in order to improve power quality (PQ) issues such voltage profile at PCC. This paper proposed a new strategy for tuning controller gains of DSTATCOM based on hybrid particle swarm optimization and artificial neural networks (PSO-ANNs). The results of the simulation show the superiority and robustness of the proposed strategy of DSTATCOM to improve voltage profile in the distribution power system.
