Abstract: This paper presents an implementation of a three phase distribution static compensator (DSTATCOM) using a back propagation (BP) control algorithm for its functions such as harmonic elimination, load balancing and reactive power compensation for power factor correction, and zero voltage regulation under nonlinear loads. A BP-based control algorithm is used for the extraction of the fundamental weighted value of active and reactive power components of load currents which are required for the estimation of reference source currents. A prototype of DSTATCOM is developed using a digital signal processor, and its performance is studied under various operating conditions. The performance of DSTATCOM is found to be satisfactory with the proposed control algorithm for various types of loads.

Abstract: This paper describes a leaky least mean square-based control algorithm for a three-phase distribution static compensator (DSTATCOM) to mitigate multiple power quality problems such as reactive power, current harmonics, load unbalancing, and so on with self-supporting dc bus voltage of voltage source converter used as a DSTATCOM. The proposed control algorithm is implemented for the extraction of tuned weighted values of fundamental active and reactive power components of distorted load currents which are major components in reference supply currents. Developed DSTATCOM is operated under various operating conditions and its performance is found satisfactory.

An ILST-based control algorithm is used for the extraction of fundamental load currents and their active and reactive power components. These components are used for the estimation of reference source currents. A prototype of DSTATCOM is developed and its real-time performance is studied using a digital signal processor. The performance of DSTATCOM is found satisfactory with the proposed control algorithm under various types of loads.

Abstract: This paper presents the modeling and implementation of a three-phase DSTATCOM (Distribution Static Compensator) using STF (Self Tuning Filter) based IRPT (Instantaneous Reactive Power Theory) control algorithm for power quality improvement. It is used for harmonics elimination, load balancing and reactive power compensation at distorted PCC (Point of Common Coupling) voltages under nonlinear loads. An adaptive fuzzy logic controller is used to control the dc bus voltage of VSC (Voltage Source Converter) based DSTATCOM to improve the response and to reduce the overshoot and undershoot of traditional PI (Proportional-Integral) controller under unbalanced loading conditions and supply voltage fluctuations. The effectiveness of the proposed control algorithm is demonstrated through simulation using MATLAB SIMULINK and real time implementation of DSTATCOM conducted using a DSP (Digital Signal Processor dSPACE 1104).

Abstract: In this paper, a distribution static compensator (DSTATCOM) is implemented for controlling a distributed power generating system using a proposed composite observer based control technique. The proposed control technique is employed for the fundamental components extraction of distorted load currents. These extracted components are used in the estimation of reference source currents to generate gating signals of DSTATCOM. The proposed control technique is implemented for the mitigation of reactive power, distortion in term of harmonics, and load balancing under linear/nonlinear loads. The performance of DSTATCOM is observed satisfactory for these consumer loads with regulated generator voltage at point of common coupling and self-supported dc link of voltage-source converter of DSTATCOM.

Abstract: Thank you for downloading power electronics converters applications and design. Maybe you have knowledge that, people have look numerous times for their favorite readings like this power electronics converters applications and design, but end up in harmful downloads. Rather than enjoying a good book with a cup of tea in the afternoon, instead they cope with some malicious virus inside their desktop computer.

Abstract: The paper discusses load compensation using a distribution static compensator (DSTATCOM). It is assumed that the DSTATCOM is associated with a load that is remote from the supply. It is shown that the operation of a DSTATCOM assuming that it is connected to a stiff source in such situations will result in distortions in source current and voltage at the point of common coupling. To avoid this, the DSTATCOM is connected in parallel with a filter capacitor that allows the high frequency component of the current to pass. However, this generates control issues in tracking, as standard controls such as a hysteresis control are not suitable in these circumstances. This paper proposes a new switching control scheme and demonstrates its suitability for this problem. It also proposes a scheme in which the fundamental sequence components of a three-phase signal can be computed from its samples. The overall performance of the proposed scheme is verified using digital computer simulation studies.

Abstract: This paper presents a single-stage, three-phase grid connected solar photovoltaic (SPV) system. The proposed system is dual purpose, as it not only feeds extracted solar energy into the grid but it also helps in improving power quality in the distribution system. The presented system serves the purpose of maximum power point tracking (MPPT), feeding SPV energy to the grid, harmonics mitigation of loads connected at point of common coupling (PCC) and balancing the grid currents. The SPV system uses a three-phase voltage source converter (VSC) for performing all these functions. An improved linear sinusoidal tracer (ILST)-based control algorithm is proposed for control of VSC. In the proposed system, a variable dc link voltage is used for MPPT. An instantaneous compensation technique is used incorporating changes in PV power for fast dynamic response. The SPV system is first simulated in MATLAB along with Simulink and sim-power system toolboxes, and simulated results are verified experimentally. The proposed SPV system and its control algorithm are implemented in a three-phase distribution system for power quality improvement and improved utilization of VSC. The total harmonics distortions (THDs) of grid currents and PCC voltages are observed within IEEE-929 and IEEE-519 standards.
