Power Quality Improvement by Voltage Control Using Dstatcom

Abstract

This paper proposes a new topology by Distribution Static Compensator using Matlab. This proposed method of power quality improvement achieves UPF which is not possible in previous methods. Maximum UPF is maintained, while regulating voltage at the load terminal, during fluctuation of load. Dstatcom solves Power quality issues by achieving PF correction, harmonic elimination, load balancing, and voltage regulation based on the load requirement. Keywords: power quality, DSTATCOM, PF correction, harmonic elimination, load balancing, voltage control, matlab.
