Three Phase Three Level Distribution STATCOM Integrated with Solar

Static compensator (STATCOM) is a shunt compensation installed to eliminate harmonics generated by non-linear and unbalanced loading condition. Also there has been an increase use of Power Electronic Devices (PED) in control and sensitive equipments. Due to this sinusoidal voltage and current waveforms get distorted both at source side and load side. In this paper three phase-three level Distribution STATCOM (DSTATCOM) is designed to eliminate harmonics and to mitigate PQ issues generated due to harmonics. Also, the designed DSTATCOM is capable of integrating solar power with the AC utility system. Hence PV-DSTATCOM supplies active as well as reactive power demand of the system.
