3. Introduction
There are many factors both internal and external that affect the quality and quantity
of power that is being delivered. In present day power distribution systems are
facing severe Power Quality problems, such as poor voltage regulation, high
reactive power, harmonics, excessive neutral current, etc.
The Custom Power Devices(CPDs) are used to resolve these problems.

4. Power Quality
“Continuity” of supply and the “Quality” of voltage.
Power Quality is the interaction of electrical power with electrical equipment.
If electrical equipment operates correctly and reliably without being damaged or
stressed, we would say that the electrical power is of good quality.
On the other hand, if the electrical equipment malfunctions, is unreliable, or is
damaged during normal usage, we would suspect that the power quality is poor.

8. Custom Power Devices
To improve the reliability and power quality in a distribution, a group of devices,
called Custom Power Devices (CPD) are in use now days.
DSTATCOM
DVR
UPQC

9. DSTATCOM
• It is a shunt connected CPD based on a power electronics Voltage Source Converter
• The distribution static compensator (DSTATCOM) is used for compensating PQ
problems in the current.

10. VSC
• A voltage-source converter is a power electronic device, which can generate a
sinusoidal voltage with any required magnitude, frequency and phase angle.
• The VSC is used to either completely replace the voltage or to inject the
“missing voltage‟. The “missing voltage” is the difference between the
nominal voltage and the actual.

11. Literature Review
• Bhim Singh, et.al. [2008] A new topology of three-phase four-wire DSTATCOM
consisting of a H-bridge VSC (voltage source converter) with a star/delta
transformer is proposed for power quality improvement in the distribution
systems.
• T R Somayajulu, et.al. [2008] In this paper, a new topology of DSTATCOM
(Distribution Static Compensator) is proposed for power quality improvement in a
three-phase four-wire distribution system. A three-leg VSC (Voltage Source
Converter) based DSTATCOM is integrated with a zig-zag transformer

12. • D.P. Kothari et.al. [2008] In this paper, a new three-phase four-wire distribution
static compensator (DSTATCOM) based on a T-connected transformer and a
three-leg voltage source converter (VSC) is proposed for power quality
improvement.
• P Jayaprakash, et.al. [2012] In this paper, a new topology of DSTATCOM using
three single-phase VSCs (voltage source converters) integrated with a zig-zag
transformer is employed for the power quality improvement in three-phase four-
wire distribution systems. The zig-zag transformer is used to providing a path to
the zero sequence fundamental as well as harmonics currents.

13. • Bhim singh et.al [2008] A new topology of DSTATCOM (distribution static
compensator) consisting of a H-bridge VSC (voltage source converter) and a
star/delta transformer is proposed for power quality improvement in the three-
phase four wire distribution system.
• P. Jayaprakash et.al [2008] A detailed investigation is made into the causes,
standards, and remedies of the excessive neutral current. A reduced rating voltage-
source converter with a zig-zag transformer as a distribution static compensator is
proposed for power quality improvement in the three-phase four wire distribution
system.

14. • Bhattacharya Sourabh, [2012] D-STATCOM (distribution static compensator) is a
shunt device which is generally used to solve power quality problems in
distribution systems. D-STATCOM is a shunt device used in correcting power
factor, maintaining constant distribution voltage and mitigating harmonics in a
distribution network.
• D.P. Kothari, et.al. [2009] A three-phase four-wire DSTATCOM (distribution
static compensator) based on three-leg VSC (voltage source converter) isolated
with a star/hexagon transformer is demonstrated for power quality enhancement in
a three-phase four-wire distribution system.

16. Design of Star/Delta Transformer
The kVA rating of the transformer is given as
kVASD = 0.5ΣVrmsIrms
kVASD = 0.5(ΣVYrmsIYrms +ΣV∆rmsI∆rms)
For the integrated DSTATCOM configuration using a Star/Delta transformer, the
rating is obtained as,
Rms value is given as
√3VLIL= (kW*1000/CosФ)
kVASD = 0.5[{3*(INm/3)*(VL/√3)+3*(INm/3)*(VL/√3)}]
The rating of transformer 3.4 kVA and ratio 240/140 V are selected for the operation

17. Star/Delta Transformer
Such connections are used
principally where the voltage is to
be stepped down.

18. Star/Delta transformer connection and its Phasor
diagram

19. Design of DSTATCOM
DC Bus Voltage: The dc bus voltage is defined as,
Vdc = 2√2 VLL/(√3m)
Where m is the modulation index and is considered as 1. Thus, one may obtain the
value of Vdc as 677 V for VLL of 415 V. Thus, Vdc of the value of 680 V is selected.
DC Bus Capacitor: Dc capacitor is governed by the reduction in the dc bus voltage
1
2
Cdc[(V2dc) −(V2dc1)] = 3V(aI)t
where a is the over loading factor, and t is the response time of the DSTATCOM and t
is considered as 350µs .

20. Considering Vdc= 680 V, Vdc1= 670 V, V=415/3, a=1.2 , the calculated value of Cdc
is 2600 µf. So Cdc is chosen to be 3200 µf.
AC Inductor: The selection of the ac inductance depends on the current ripple
icr,p-p. The ac inductance is given as,
Lf = [(√3mVdc) /(12afs icr(p-p))
The value of AC Inductance is defined 5mH.
Ripple Filter: A high pass first-order filter tuned at half the switching frequency is
used to filter out the noise from the voltage at the PCC. The time constant of the
filter should be very small compared to the fundamental time period (T).
Rf Cf << T/10

21. Control Algorithm

22. Control Strategy
A. Active Component of Reference Source Currents
• Three-phase voltages at the PCC are considered sinusoidal and hence their
amplitude is computed as,
Vt = {(2/3) (vSa
2 +vSb
2 +vSc
2)} 1/2 (1)
• The unit vector in phase with vsa, vsb and vsc are derived as,
ua = vSa/Vt; ub = vSb/Vt; uc = vSc/Vt (2)
• The error in dc bus voltage of VSC (Vdcer (n)) of an DSTATCOM at nth sampling
instant is as,
Vdcer(n) = Vdcref(n) – Vdc(n) (3)

23. • The output of the PI controller for maintaining dc bus voltage of the VSC at the
nth sampling instant is expressed as,
iloss(n) = iloss(n-1) + Kpd { Vdcer(n) – Vdcer(n-1)} + KidVdcer(n) (4)
• In-phase components of reference source currents are estimated as:
isad* = ua iloss ; isbd* = ub iloss ; iscd* = uc iloss (5)
B. Quadrature Component of Reference Source Currents
• The unit vectors (wa, wb and wc) in quadrature with vsa, vsb and vsc may be derived
using a quadrature transformation of the in-phase unit vectors ua, ub and uc as,

24. wa = -ub / √3 + uc / √3 (6)
wb = √3 ua / 2 + (ub – uc) / 2√3 (7)
wc= -√3 ua / 2 + (ub – uc) / 2√3 (8)
• The error in PCC voltage of VSC (Vser (n)) of an DSTATCOM at nth sampling
instant is as,
Vter(n) = Vtref(n) – Vt(n) (9)
• The output of the PI controller for maintaining amplitude of PCC voltage at the
nth sampling instant is expressed as,
iqr(n) = iqr(n-1) + Kpq { Vter(n) – Vter(n-1)} + KiqVter(n) (10)

25. • The quadrature components of reference source currents are estimated as:
isaq* = waiqr ; isbq* = wbiqr ; iscq* = wciqr (11)
• Total reference source currents are sum of in-phase and quadrature components of
the reference source currents as,
isa* = isad* +isaq* (12)
isb* = isbd* +isbq* (13)
isc* = iscd* +iscq* (14)
These reference source currents (isa*, isb* and isc*) are compared with the sensed
source currents (isa, isb and isc) in PWM current controller of VSC of DSTATCOM.
These current errors controlled using a current controlled PWM to generate gating
pulse of the switches.

38. Design of Zig/Zag Transformer
Considering a turn ratio of 1:1:1 and voltage across each winding VX volts and
line voltage is VL then,
VX = (VL / √3)
Similar to Star/Delta transformer, kVA rating of Zig/Zag transformer is given as
kVAZZ = 0.5 {ƩVzrmsIzrms)
For the integrated DSTATCOM configuration using a zig-zag / star transformer,
the rating is obtained as,
(kVA)ZZ/S = 0.5[{6*(IL)*(VL/3)} + {3*(IL)*(VL/3)}]
(kVA)ZZ/S = 0.5[{6*(15)*(140)} + {3*(15)*(140)}]
The transformer of rating 3kVA and ratio 140/140/140 V are selected.
