A Distribution Static Synchronous Compensator Application to Mitigate Voltage Variation for Distribution Feeders

With the growing penetration of distributed energy resources (DER), accompanying challenges have led utilities to limit hosting capacities DER installations on distribution feeders. A static synchronous compensator (DSTATCOM) is a power electronic device provide dynamic injections and absorption reactive into grid with more flexible reliable voltage control quality improvement. management system (DERMS) developed effective DSTATCOM that can help substantially increase capacity mitigate overvoltage problems existing feeder. Taiwan company’s (Taipower) feeder selected for computer simulation, employed in test demonstrate effectiveness improving problems. The voltage/reactive (Volt/VAR) helps reduce overvoltage/voltage fluctuations as output increases.
