English Abstract

This paper focuses on the Distribution Static Compensator (D-STATCOM) device, which is widely used to overcome the power quality problems.

The paper proposes a control strategy for D-STATCOM based on optimal control methods ; H_2 and 〖H 〗_œ methods, in order to utilize the benefits of the optimal control methods to reach optimum solutions for power quality problems.

The proposed control strategy depends on Dq transformation, Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) synchronization and constant DC link voltage.

An optimal based control strategy is designed, then performance simulation is done using MATLAB environment, and analyzed on the demand of one of the low voltage (400 V) networks of Gaza city as a case study to verify its effectiveness.

The D-STATCOM device using the proposed optimal based control strategy provides fully voltage recovery (1 pu), fully total harmonic distortion (THD) elimination (0.54 % THD), maximum p.f (0.99) and faster response (0.02 sec), which making it an effective solution for power quality problems.
