Abstract

This paper aims to enhance the power quality in distribution networks by utilizing a multilevel STATCOM (Static Synchronous Compensator) compensated system based on an improved one-cycle controller using a five-level clamp diode multilevel inverter. The proposed system utilizes the clamp diode multilevel inverter to generate voltage with a high number of voltage levels, which results in reduced total harmonic distortion (THD) and lower switching frequency. The improved one-cycle controller ensures the accuracy and reliability of the system's control, allowing it to operate seamlessly and efficiently. The multilevel STATCOM, on the other hand, provides reactive power compensation, voltage regulation, and harmonic filtering to mitigate power quality issues such as voltage sags, swells, flickers and harmonics. The simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed system in improving the power quality of the distribution network. The proposed system offers an efficient and reliable solution for enhancing power quality in distribution networks.
