ENHANCEMENT OF POWER QUALITY BY USING D-STATCOM

Abstract

The main concern of consumer in power system is the reliability of supply that is, the continuity of electricity. Now a day, quality of electricity supply is very important for consumers. At the generating plant it generates voltages almost perfectly sinusoidal at rated magnitude and at rated frequency. The power quality problems starts from transmission system and stay at the end of distribution system. And these power quality problems faced the consumers. The electrical and electronic equipments are failure when faced one or more power quality problems. Hence, now a day power quality is serious problem in power network. To overcome this problem the device D-STATCOM is used. These power quality problems are overcomes by using various FACTS devices.
