<p>This paper presents the adaptive filtering based least mean square control<br />algorithm for distribution static compensator (DSTATCOM) in three-phase<br />grid tied system for linear/non-linear load, to solve the power quality<br />problems caused by solid-state equipment and devices. This is shown that the<br />active component weights obtained from the load currents in the LMS<br />adaptive filter are used to produce the reference currents and subsequently<br />produces the switching pulses for VSC of the compensator. The complete<br />circuit along with the adaptive technique and diode bridge rectifier type nonlinear load is simulated in Matlab/Simulink software. Initially the circuit was<br />simulated for a three phase linear inductive load. Later it was simulated for a<br />rectifier load connected at PCC with a disconnection of the load of any phase<br />for a short duration of time. It is concluded that the harmonics are found<br />within the limit. The harmonics and power results for both types of loads are<br />compared in a tabular form. Hence this three phase system with<br />DSTATCOM improves the power quality in the three-phase distribution<br />network therefore, serves to provide harmonics reduction, load balancing and<br />regulating the terminal voltage at the point of common coupling (PCC).</p>

The increased use of electricity-dependent devices has posed many concerns to the power industry. The devices like electric motors, printers, generators, transformers, computers, etc are widely used in today’s world. The electronic devices increase the non-linear load to the power system which leads to the power quality (PQ) issues by which the electrical devices may get affected with fluctuation causing equipment failure, power system failure, etc. In order to resolve the PQ related issues and harmonics mitigation occurred due to nonlinear load power filters were introduced in decades ago. This paper deals with the review of existing researches that uses power filters and other methods for power quality improvement. The paper also gives gaps and the current state of the art in the recent researches which have futuristic scope in the research domain.

The purpose of the work is developing a simulation model of factory’s the power system, with a nonlinear load model, which is a 12-pulses thyristor invertor and a model of a static synchronous compensator, which is multi-level voltage invertor, based on H-bridge invertor. Also defining preliminary parameters for the design of a static synchronous compensator in order to meet the requirements for power factors and limits of voltage harmonic and interharmonic distortion specified for the point of common connection to the mains supply. The analytical and numerical methods of mathematical programming and control of electromechanical systems were used. VisualStudio and PSIM software products for developing a control system for electromechanical systems and compiling a simulation model of an industrial power supply system were used. As a result of the research, a simulation model of the power supply system of an industrial enterprise, a model of a nonlinear load and a static synchronous compensator were developed. The rated power of the static synchronous compensator is determined to reduce the consumption of reactive power and the magnitude of the higher harmonics of the current, at the point of common connection, during operating a non-linear load.

In power system, reactive power compensation is one of the important action to maintain better voltage profile, stability and decrease losses. STATCOM is feasible in terms of cost effective in wide range of problem solving capabilities among all Flexible AC Transmission system (FACTS) in both transmission and distribution levels. In this paper the synchronous rotating frame theory algorithm is used since it is easy to implement i.e. the rotating three phase quantities are converted into stationary components. So it requires less number of PI controllers and also calculations on the stationary quantities are easy than to do calculations on instantaneous quantities and the modeling of STATCOM is done.  This project focuses on improvement of power quality in a three phase three wire system with a non-linear load i.e., three phase bridge rectifier and a parallel inductive load. Some power quality aspects like reactive power compensation of linear load, better Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) performance and the power factor improvement are achieved. The result shows the THD of input current achieved as per the IEEE 519-1992 standard. It is observed that STATCOM gives effective compensation for reactive power variation and hence the power quality of distribution systems improved.

The paper presents the analysis of harmonic distortion when non-linear load is connected in different phases of power system with STATCOM for singly excited induction generator system with wind turbine as prime mover. Now-a-days due to the drastically increased in use of non linear loads causes many power quality problems in power system network. Those problems are classified as reactive power problems, harmonics, voltage sags and swells. Out of these problems harmonic problems are major concern. Custom power devices proposed for mitigation of power quality in network. For compensation of harmonic, static compensator (STATCOM) is used. The paper presents the compensation of harmonic power quality issues using STATCOM for the system with singly-excited induction generator feeding non-linear load connected in different phases. STATCOM is controlled using synchronous reference frame theory to produce pulses to switches of STATCOM sensing the input parameters. Proposed concept was developed using MATLAB/SIMULINK software and results are presented for non-linear load connected in different phases of the power system. THD analysis was shown for source current and load current for different cases.
