This project work presents a proposed D-STATCOM system, Which is implemented in the distribution network. In the present scenario, the customer or consumer should be supplied with a quality power. The power quality issues like voltage sag, swell, lightning surges etc, can be reduced by using several advanced techniques. Among all these power quality issues voltage sag is considered and has been compensated in this project work by using D-STATCOM. The major advantage of D-STATCOM is that instead of installing the compensating device in the transmission and distribution line, the D-STATCOM unit is implemented at the consumers premises to maintain stable voltage for the connected electrical equipment’s and also to provide safe operation of the electrical equipment’s by extending their life time. The software ie., implemented by using MATLAB Simulink and the results are also verified experimentally by a hardware unit

Capacitor Allocation

Ever-increasing load-demand, threaten the continuity of power supply and diminishes power quality causing serious technical challenges in distribution networks. In this regards, commonly used cheaper practices like capacitor allocation and network configuration, can enhance operational parameters of the network. On the other hand, supplying the future loaddemand, requires installing new substations or distributed generations (DGs). Because of DGs inherent technical and economic advantages, Distribution Company (DisCo), encourage private investment to install DGs, by signing long-term Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with DG owners (DGO). In such a situation created, DG allocation and simultaneously capacitor allocation and network configuration can be economical for both DisCo and DGO and also can enhance the reliability and power quality. So, this paper is aimed to find the annual instants for network configuration; timing, sizing and sitting of capacitors and DGs, and PPA rates using Multi-Objective Particle Swarm Optimization (MOPSO). Also, the uncertainties of load-demand and electricity-price, voltage-sensitive loads and load priority in power supply are applied into the planning problem. Voltage deviation and voltage stability are considered as constraints which must be better in optimum solution. The effectiveness of the proposed scheme, is validated by computer simulation done on a 33-Bus IEEE distribution network and the outcomes are discussed.

Background: In modern electrical power distribution systems, Power Quality has become an important concern due to the escalating use of automatic, microprocessor and microcontroller based end user applications. Methods: In this paper, power quality improvement has done using Photovoltaic based Distribution Static Compensator (PV-DSTATCOM). Complete simulation modelling and control of Photovoltaic based Distribution Static Compensator have been provided in the presented paper. In this configuration, DSTATCOM is fed by solar photovoltaic array and PV module is also helpful to maintain the DC link voltage. The switching of PV-STATCOM is controlled by Unit template based control theory. Results: The performance of PV-DSTATCOM has been evaluated for Unity Power Factor (UPF) and AC Voltage Control (ACVC) modes. Here, for studying the power quality issues three-phase distribution system is considered and results have been verified through simulation based on MATLAB software. Conclusion: Different power quality issues and their improvement are studied and presented here for harmonic reduction, DC voltage regulation and power factor correction.
