ABSTRACT:

Now a days, there are an increasing number of non linear loads which inject harmonics into the system and causes various losses in the system.
Reactive power management in a power distribution network of power utility and industry plays a vital role in reducing distribution losses and maintaining constant distribution voltage.
A three phase IGBT based current controlled voltage source inverter with a DC capacitor known as DSTATCOM is used for power factor correction, harmonic compensation and for providing required reactive power to the load.
This paper deals with the simulation of DSTATCOM for improving power quality. A model of DSTATCOM connected to a power distribution system is developed for predicting the behavior of system under transient condition. Simulation is carried out using MATLAB environment using SIMULINK and power system block set toolboxes.
The simulation and experimental results show that DSTATCOM is capable of maintaining the desired power factor at receiving substation
