Performance Comparison of DSTATCOM using SRF and IRP Control Algorithm

In this paper, a comparative evaluation of three different control algorithms is made to derive reference currents for a three phase three wire Distribution Static Compensator (DSTATCOM). These control algorithms are synchronous reference frame (SRF) theory and instantaneous reactive power (IRP) theory including p-q and ip-iq theories of control. The effectiveness of the DSTATCOM is verified with simulation results. The simulation is carried out on MATLAB software using Simulink.
