Fig. 3. MATLAB based model for the system. simulated in the form of a three-phase diode bridge rectifier
feeding resistive loads. Both the power circuit as well as
appropriate controller (PI or SMC) are developed using
Simulink and Power System Toolbox of MATLAB.
Figure 3 shows the detailed MATLAB model developed
for the three-phase, three-wire system with linear or nonlinear
loads. The results of the developed DSTATCOM model with
linear loads and different controllers are presented in Fig.4-6.
A. Performance with PI- Hysteresis Current Controller with
Linear Loads
Performance of DSTATCOM with a PI controller
employing a hysteresis current controller is shown in Fig.4 for
power factor correction. This figure shows variation of
various quantities viz.(supply voltage, currents, load currents,
DSTATCOM currents and DC link voltage) for a three-phase
(18kW) linear load. At t=0.3sec to 0.4sec, the load is doubled
to 36kW and brought back to its initial value at t=0.4sec.
These responses show that DC link is nearly maintained to
700V with +40V overshoot and undershoot. DSTATCOM
improves the power factor of ac supply to unity under varying
loads.
