Instantaneous Reactive Power Theory Control Scheme for Reactive Power Compensation using DSTATCOM

Abstract

Distribution static compensator is a well known facts device which control reactive power flow in a distribution system. Nowadays major loads in distribution system are inductive loads, which will consume more reactive power. In order to improve power quality, this paper developed an IRPT control scheme for generating the reference quantity components for DSTATCOM to compensate that reactive power. DSTATCOM simulation is done in MATLAB using IRPT.
