DETERMINATION OF THE PERFORMANCE OF THE DISTRIBUTION STATIC COMPENSATOR (D-STATCOM) IN DISTRIBUTION NETWORK

The Distribution Static Compensator (D-STATCOM) coupled with a transformer is connected in shunt with a distribution network. This paper presents the best locations and ratings of a D-STATCOM in a radial distribution network. For this purpose, the backward/forward algorithm sweep has been carried out to compute the realistic system operation states and evaluate the control performance of the D-STATOM. In this paper D-STATCOM is utilized for improved voltage profile and reduction in power losses. A numerical result based on 33 bus distribution network is given to show the computational performance of the Backward/Forward power flow algorithm with incorporation of the DSTATCOM model.
