ADAPTIVE THEORY-BASED IMPROVED LINEAR SINUSOIDAL TRACER CONTROL ALGORITHM FOR DSTATCOM

ABSTRACT:
This paper presents a hardware implementation of three-phase distribution static compensator (DSTATCOM) using an adaptive theor -based improved linear sinusoidal tracer (!"ST) control algorithm for different functions of DSTATCOM such as reactive power compensation for power factor correction# harmonics elimination# load balancing# and $ero-voltage regulation under linear%nonlinear loads& An !"STbased control algorithm is used for the e'traction of fundamental load currents and their active and reactive power components& These components are used for the estimation of reference source currents& A protot pe of DSTATCOM is developed and its real-time performance is studied using a digital signal processor& The performance of DSTATCOM is found satisfactor with the proposed control algorithm under various t pes of loads&
