Electric power quality (PQ) in distribution system has become increasingly significant subject both for end users and power suppliers with the deregulation of the electric power market. The inadequate performance of conventional compensation devices to mitigate PQ problems has revealed the use of advanced power electronics based compensation devices. Distribution static synchronous compensator (DSTATCOM) is one of the shunt connected custom power devices used to improve PQ, voltage and reactive power support and to increase the capability of the auxiliary service for utility grid. This study presents a comprehensive review of the various DSTATCOM configurations for single-phase (two-wire) and three-phase (three or four-wire) systems and control strategies for the compensation of different PQ problems in distribution systems. In addition, comprehensive explanation, comparison and discussion on DSTATCOM technology are performed. Furthermore, latest trends, practical consideration and some future research fields on DSTATCOMs are discussed in detail. This is intended to present a broad perspective on the status of DSTATCOM technology to researchers dealing with compensation of PQ problems in distribution systems.

DSTATCOM is one of the power conditioning devices that is used to mitigate power quality problems in distribution systems. The overall performance of the DSTATCOM is strictly related with the proper selection of power circuit configuration and controller algorithm. The power circuit of DSTATCOM consists of dc link capacitor, inverter and passive filter. The control circuit of DSTATCOM consists of reference signal extraction, DC link voltage control, AC voltage control and switching signal generation. Compensating current reference signal is generally derived from the measured quantities by the use of the Instantaneous Symmetrical Component Theory (ISCT) and dq theory based method. A proportional integral (PI) controller is generally used to maintain a constant voltage at the dc-link of a Voltage-Source Inverter (VSI). Furthermore, by connecting a delta connected inductor-capacitor-inductor (LCL) passive filter at inverter output, the high order harmonics generated by the DSTATCOM can be easily and effectively eliminated. This study presents the design procedures for power and control circuits of 300 kVA DSTATCOM in detail.
