Abstract

This paper presents a new control method for D-STATCOM operation under unbalanced condition. The aim of this method is to balance the load currents. The proposed method extracts the negative and positive sequence components for generating reference values of current that should be injected in order to compensat the load. The proposed method offers structural simplicity and less calculation complexity. Simulation results indicate that this method is effective and D-STATCOM has good performance under unbalanced conditions.
