Abstract: Distribution systems have been facing serious problems of harmonics load current mainly due to advancement in power electronic based and other non-linear loads. The DSTATCOM has been widely used to mitigate the load current harmonics problems in distribution system. The power quality improvement is one of the major problems when the distribution side load increases with non-linear loads like electric vehicles, laptops, PCs etc., There are some power quality mitigation technique available at the load side where the electronic chargers works with unity power factor (UPC) control. But many DC loads are connected without the UPC. So, it is a need for a device which corrects the real and reactive power at the distribution level. The DSTATCOM is connected to the Indian distribution system with 415V, 50Hz. In this paper the linear loads and nonlinear loads are coupled to the system and analysis with DSTATCOM and without DSTATCOM cases are presented.
Keywords: DSTATCOM, Distribution systems, Unity power factor control, non-linear loads.
