Deskripsi

Utility distribution networks, crucial commercial operations, and critical industrial loads can suffer considerable financial losses as a result of a variety of service interruptions and outages. In developing countries like India, where alterations in power frequency and numerous other factors affecting power quality are a worry, it is crucial to take appropriate action to make power networks sustainable. To control and reduce voltage disturbances, a variety of techniques are available. For their benefits, including suitable output waveforms, inverters with multilevel outputs, such as multilevel D-STATCOMs, are frequently utilized in the power system and industry (voltage and current). Multilevel D-STATCOM control can be accomplished with several controllers. A closed loop controller is one of the controllers that use a feedback system to automatically control a system that ensures a desirable state or accepted value. Among the improvements are voltage sags and swells. The performance of the suggested controller is explained by contrasting it with both multilevel D-STATCOM and traditional PWM controls. In addition to its simplicity, robustness, and flexibility, the proposed method allows for all defects to be compensated.
