A Multifunctional DSTATCOM Operating Under Stiff Source

Loads connected to a stiff source cannot be protected from voltage disturbances using a distribution static compensator (DSTATCOM). In this paper, a new control-algorithm-based multifunctional DSTATCOM is proposed to operate in voltage control mode under stiff source. This scheme provides fast voltage regulation at the load terminal during voltage disturbances and protects critical loads. In addition, during normal operation, the generated reference load voltages allow control of the source currents. Consequently, DSTATCOM injects reactive and harmonic components of load currents to make source power factor unity. Simulation and experimental results are presented to verify the efficacy of the proposed control algorithm and multifunctional DSTATCOM.
