Mitigation of Voltage Dip and Voltage Flickering by Multilevel D-STATCOM

الملخص EN

The basic power quality problems in the distribution network are voltage sag (dip), voltage flickering, and the service interruptions.

STATCOM is a Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) technology device which can independently control the flow of reactive power.

This paper presents the simulation and analysis of a STATCOM for voltage dip and voltage flickering mitigation.

Simulations are carried out in MATLAB/Simulink to validate the performance of the STATCOM.

A comparison between the six-pulse inverter and the five-level diode-clamped inverter is carried out for the performance of 66/11 KV distribution system.
