Three Phase Distribution STATCOM Integrated with Solar

Static compensator (STATCOM) is a shunt compensation installed to eliminate harmonics generated by non-linear and unbalanced loading condition. Also there has been an increased use of Power Electronic Devices (PED) in control and sensitive equipments. Due to this sinusoidal voltage and current waveforms get distorted both at source side and load side. In this paper three phase Distribution-STATCOM (DSTATCOM) is designed to mitigate PQ issues related to voltage instability and harmonics. An inimitable concept of utilizing Solar Photovoltaic Power Generation (SPVPG) as DSTATCOM is presented. In this DSTATCOM is capable of integrating solar power with the AC utility system. The PV-DSTATCOM designed can regulate voltage by suppling active as well as reactive power demand of the system.
