Power Quality problems And Mitigation Using D-STATCOM With H-bridge topology In Solar PV Integrated Distribution System

This paper presents Power Quality (PQ) problems and mitigation using D-STATCOM with H-Bridge topology in solar Photo Voltaic (PV) integrated distribution system. D-STATCOM solve current related issues of networks. Three-phase, four-wire, 400 V and 50 Hz system is selected as distribution source. The power quality improvement along with PV integration is intended by using D-STATCOM. Another goal is to design the components of shunt compensator for a PV integrated three phase distribution system. The Custom Power Device (CPD) is 50 kVA rated and uses battery storage system. Economical and robust design is ensured. Various loads were connected in the system for simulation studies and results were analyzed and validated.
