Abstract
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-STATCOM is used for Grid Connected Power System, for Voltage
Fluctuation, for Wind Power Smoothening and Hydrogen Generation etc. This paper D-STATCOM is used in Marine Power
System for Power Quality Improvement. Relevant solutions which applied nowadays to improve power quality of electric
network according to the five aspects of power quality- harmonics, fluctuation and flick of voltage, Voltage deviation,
unbalance of 3-phase voltage and current frequency deviation. Simulation is done using Sim Power Systems of
MATLAB/Simulink to validate the proposed global system. The measurement system containing two main parts: - Hardware
part and the virtual part- software (Recording, Processing, Graphical interfacing). In this paper we are concluding the result of
software parts only. The performance of the proposed DSTATCOM system is validated through simulations using MATLAB
software with its Simulink and Power System Blockset (PSB) toolboxes.
Keywords: D-STATCOM, VSI, PCC, SOLAS, GMDSS, PSB, APF.
