The three-phase DSTATCOM is prone to higher dynamics due to grid disturbances. The proportionate affine projection algorithm (PAPA) is an adaptive filter that can be used for DSTATCOM control. In order to overcome the sluggish convergence speed of adaptive filters, PAPA is proposed in this paper. The convergence rate versus the steady-state error is a trade-off in conventional adaptive filters. However, the utilization of two adaptive filters in CSS-PAPA increases the convergence and decreases the steady-state error. The suggested filter has the advantage of having a lower computational cost than a standard adaptive filter. The proposed filter helps the inverter to work as a shunt compensator. The goal of the suggested controller is to adjust for reactive power and unity power factor during faulty conditions. The proposed DSTATCOM controller has undergone experimental validation in the laboratory.
