Nowadays power crises in different countries are observed and the main cause of crisis is huge gap between supply demand electricity, renewable energy sources identified as an alternative to overcome gap. Renewable wind most promising source. Increasing integration into grid causes exploitation quality. Hence there a need deal with this issue. In case, supercapacitors custom devices introduced ...

Abstract This paper exhibits the coordinated control of 30 kVAr Distribution STATic synchronous COMpensator (DSTATCOM) with 125 Switchable Capacitor Banks for compensation reactive power in a 750 kVA secondary radial distribution system. With system, factor can be improved near to unity. The selected system mainly feeding vital loads an Educational Institution. In this paper, study is analyzed ...

Increased integration of photovoltaics (PVs) systems and charging stations for electric vehicles (EVs) has led to a substantial increase in the level voltage unbalance beyond acceptable limit. Ordinary regulation devices such as on-load tap changers (OLTCs) distribution static synchronous compensator (DSTATCOM) are sometimes incapable adequately addressing this issue without proper coordination...

The distribution systems are facing severe power quality problems due to the large number of three phase and single phase linear, non-linear loads. These loads may be supplied from three-phase ac mains with neutral conductor. This creates excessive neutral current, high reactive power and harmonic current burden, load unbalancing, poor voltage regulation, etc. A three-phase fourwire distributio...

We propose a modular multilevel converter (MMC) based three-phase four-wire (3P4W) split capacitor distribution static synchronous compensator (DSTATCOM), aiming at compensating unbalanced and reactive load currents. Due to the zero-sequence current compensation, circulating characteristics of 3P4W MMC-DSTATCOM are different from conventional MMCs. Moreover, distinct working principle MMC would...

This paper  presents a nonlinear controller for a Distribution Static Compensator (DSTATCOM) of a microgrid incorporating the Distributed Generation (DG) units. The nonlinear control has been designed based on partial feedback linearization theory and Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controllers try to adjust the voltage and trace the output. This paper has proposed a combination of a fuz...
