Abstract

Quality of power has always been an area of interest and needs continuous improvement for transmission and distribution system. In this paper the power quality issues viz. sag and swell are being analyzed for a distribution network. The effectiveness of DSTATCOM has been explored so that these above said power quality issues are mitigated up to a considerable extent. The performance of the device is examined when connected in shunt to a power distribution system. The results obtained validate a good performance of the model developed and high usefulness of the device to mitigate problems introduced. All simulations have been performed using MATLAB. Further the same system is analyzed for voltage sag conditions with and without DSTATCOM.

Keywords: Power quality improvement, voltage sag, voltage swell, DSTATCOM.
