Improving Power Quality Using D-STATCOM with Capacitor as Energy Storage System

Abstract

Power electronics are used more frequently to raise awareness of power quality which must be considered when designing modern power systems for effective operation and continuous power supply to various load centers. Otherwise, it will be hazardous for residential and commercial customers, reducing the production of their work due to faults and equipment damage. Electronic technology known as Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) may improve power stability to make the electric power system efficient. Oscillation damping in the Power system is still a big concern for operating a safe and dependable power system. The static synchronous compressor (STATCOM) is connected to assist power networks with poor power quality and voltage regulation. Although there are several uses, voltage stability is the most frequently used. An average model of the D-STATCOM control approach is presented in this work to improve the transmission of power quality flow and voltage stability in electric power systems. An increase in system voltage stability, reactive power flow control for different loads, and dynamic response of STATCOM are the primary goals of this research work.
