Voltage sag assessment of distribution network with DGs based on Monte Carlo method is researched in this paper. Models of synchronous machine type DG and inverter type DG are established respectively; then a typical distribution network with DGs is simulated based on PSCAD/EMTDC. Impacts of type, control strategy, output power and location of DG on voltage sags are discussed based on several simulation examples. The results show that inverter type DG has certain capability of suppressing voltage sags and can reduce the frequency of voltage sags in distribution network and the impacts are depend on its type, control strategy, output power and location.

The basic power quality problems in the distribution network are voltage sag (dip), voltage flickering, and the service interruptions. STATCOM is a Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) technology device which can independently control the flow of reactive power. This paper presents the simulation and analysis of a STATCOM for voltage dip and voltage flickering mitigation. Simulations are carried out in MATLAB/Simulink to validate the performance of the STATCOM. A comparison between the six-pulse inverter and the five-level diode-clamped inverter is carried out for the performance of 66/11 KV distribution system.

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
