Introduction Problems in power distribution Definition Circuit diagram DSTATCOM Components Operating principle Operating modes Control Techniques Application

A distribution static compensator or D-STATCOM is a fast response, solid-state power controller that provides flexible voltage control at the point of connection to the utility distribution feeder for power quality (PQ) improvements. It can exchange both active and reactive power with the distribution system by varying the amplitude and phase angle of the converter voltage with respect to the line terminal voltage.

High Reactive Power Burden High harmonic currents Unbalanced loads

A DSTATCOM is a controlled reactive source, which includes a Voltage Source Converter (VSC) and a DC link capacitor connected in shunt, capable of generating or absorbing reactive power. It is connected near the load at the distribution system.

It consists of a dc capacitor, one or more inverter modules, an ac filter, a transformer to match the inverter output to the line voltage, and a PWM control strategy. DSTATCOM involves mainly three parts. 1. IGBT or GTO based dc-to-ac inverters 2. L-C Filter 3. Control Block

IGBT or GTO based dc-to-ac inverters:


These inverters are used which create an output voltage wave thats controlled in magnitude and phase angle to produce either leading or lagging reactive current, depending on the compensation required. L-C Filter: The LC filter is used which reduces harmonics and matches inverter output impedance to enable multiple parallel inverters to share current. The LC filter is chosen in accordance with the type of the system and the harmonics present at the output of the inverter.

Control Block: Control block is used which


switch Pure Wave DSTATCOM modules as require. These control blocks are designed based on the various control theories and algorithms like instantaneous PQ theory, synchronous frame theory etc.

Basic

operating principle of a DSATCOM is similar to that of synchronous machine. The synchronous machine will provide lagging current when under excited and leading current when over excited. DSTATCOM can generate and absorb reactive power similar to that of synchronous machine and it can also exchange real power if provided with an external device DC source.
