Abstract
We proposed voltage - sourced converter (VSC) with Pulse - width modulation (PWM) provides a faster control that is required for flicker mitigation purpose. The voltage regulation in the distribution feeder is improved by instal ling a shunt compensator. The proposed DSTATCOM is modeled and its performance is simulated and verified for power factor correction and voltage regulation along with neutral current compensation, harmonic elimination and load balancing with linear loads a nd non - linear loads. The three phase three wire Distribution Static Compensator (DSTATCOM) is proposed for power quality improvement. DSTATCOM is based on a three leg VSC and is controlled to compensate reactive power, harmonic current and unbalances in th e load. IGBT based VSC is capacitor supported and is controlled for the required compensation of the load current
