ABSTRACT


In this article reduced switch count-based distributed static compensator (DSTATCOM) is presented. DSTATCOM is a reduced switch count-based multilevel inverter (MLI)-based DSTATCOM that is used to eliminate harmonics in the source current caused by a non-linear load. The reference current estimation is carried out with a sliding mode controller (SMC) based synchronous reference frame (SRF). The estimation of the harmonics real power and reactive power components is used for the subsequent calculation of desired currents of the DSTATCOM. In addition to this, DSTATCOM performance was also tested with an artificial neural fuzzy inference system-based control scheme. The training data is obtained from SMC-based SRF control schemes. The DSTATCOM is modeled with MATLAB/Simulink using Simpower system block sets. The simulation study of DSTATCOM with different control schemes is carried out to examine its harmonics elimination capabilities using MATLAB. The simulation results of the various DSTATCOM control method demonstrate the reduced harmonics current caused by the load. The ANFIS-SRF exhibits better compensation characteristics than the SMC-SRF scheme. The simulated results of DSTATCOM with an ANFIS-SRF scheme give reduced ripple content in the DC side voltage of the capacitor.
