Proper insertion of DSTATCOM in distribution networks based on VSM with network reconfiguration

Abstract

Voltage stability is necessary to maintain the grid system healthily. The load demand has been steadily increasing that causing high losses and voltage drops, endangering the system's stability. This study proposes the suitable insertion of distribution static compensator (DSTATCOM) based on voltage stability margin (VSM) with optimum network reconfiguration (ONR) to reduce losses and enhance the voltage profile. The findings are acquired utilizing recommended methodologies and test systems such as the IEEE-33 bus and 39 bus of an Iraqi distribution network, which are done using CYME and MATLAB software. The proposed approach may be able to solve the problem by aiding distribution network operators in estimating the size and location of DSTATCOM.

Development of Wireless Smart Current Sensor for Power Monitoring System

“…In the design of this monitoring system, (V) which refers to the phase voltage is considered to be constant and equal to the 220V used in Iraq.cos(𝜃) which refers to the power factor is also assumed to be constant and equal to 0.85 [20]. Therefore,…”

Power quality conditioning using two-level buck inverter based DSTATCOM

“…Among all varieties of CPD, distributed static compensator (DSTATCOM) is common types of shunt compensator [8]- [10]. In view of improved design aspect, the LC coupled buck voltage source inverters (VSI) based DSTATCOM is proposed for providing the actual and reactive power in the PCC for the PQ improvement [11], [12]. This buck inverter is designed by considering the aspect of modular design, suitable selection of inductor, variable output power, and flexible for additional connection of the elements [13]- [15].…”
