Load compensation with DSTATCOM and BESS

Abstract

This paper deals with modeling & control of Distribution Static Compensator (DSTATCOM) and Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) using Simulink and SimPower System in MATLAB environment. The results are presented for a test system with/without DSTATCOM for a wide variety of system disturbances. The modeled DSTATCOM is also tested for load compensation of linear and non-linear loads in both steady state and dynamic conditions. Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) is also modeled, controlled & tested for compensation of load. Simulation results justify enhanced power quality of system with DSTATCOM and BESS under different tested conditions.
