A STATCOM for installation on a distribution power system called DSTATCOM, has been researched

to clear voltage fluctuations and voltage flickersThe STATCOM consists of a voltage source
converter connected in shunt with the power system and permits to control a leading or lagging
reactive power by means of correcting its ac voltage

The detected three-phase voltage is transformed into the D – Q coordinates as

DC Bus Voltage Control and PWM Method

A critical issue in this hybrid active filter is the dc-bus voltage control. The dc bus consists of a single
capacitor charged from the power supply. During operation, the active filter may absorb an amount
of active power into or release it from the dc capacitor. Excessive active power absorption will
increase the dc-bus voltage, and may damage the active filter

According to the D– Q theory, a dc component in the D–Q coordinates corresponds to active power

Fuzzy Logic Controller

Fuzzy control is a control method based on fuzzy logic. Just as fuzzy logic can be described as
“computing with words rather than numbers. Fuzzy control can be simply described as “control
with sentence rather than equations”. Controllers based on fuzzy logic give the linguistic strategies
control conversion from expert knowledge in automatic control strategies [52]. The development of
control system based on fuzzy logic involves the following steps:
