Instantaneous power control of D-STATCOM with consideration of power factor correction ABSTRACT: This paper presents a modified instantaneous power control scheme of D-STATCOM for power factor and harmonic compensation. The proposed control strategy has been introduced in order to enhance some steady-state performances besides its functional elimination of power quality disturbances. Power factor and harmonic current of a controlled feeder section are two vital roles in steady-state power distribution system operation. Utilizing an already installed D-STATCOM to achieve these additional control objectives can help system operators maximize overall system performances. In this paper, a control scheme with constant power and sinusoidal current compensation is exploited. In order to correct the power factor, a power factor control loop is required and therefore included in the control block. To verify its use, a 22-kV power distribution feeder with a three-phase rectifier load was tested. Results showed that integration of the proposed reactive power controlloop can correct the power factor of the controlled feeder to be unity power factor. Did you like this research project?
