Abstract:
n this paper, a Distribution STATic COMpensator
(DSTATCOM) is proposed for compensation of reactive power
and unbalance caused by various loads in distribution system. An
evaluation of three different methods is made to derive reference
currents for a DSTATCOM. These methods are an instantaneous
reactive power theory, a synchronous reference frame theory,
and a new Adaline-based algorithm. The Adaline-based algorithm
is an adaptive method for extracting reference current signals.
These schemes are simulated under MATLAB environment using
SIMULINK and PSB toolboxes. Simulation and experimental results demonstrate the performance of these schemes for the control
of DSTATCOM
