The unit template- or PI controller-based control algorithm is a simple control algorithm for
active compensating devices such as DSTATCOMs for AC voltage regulation at load terminals
(at PCC) and load balancing of unbalanced loads. This control algorithm of the DSTATCOM is
made flexible and it can be modified either for power factor correction (unity power factor (UPF)
at PCC) or for voltage control (zero voltage regulation at PCC) through reactive power
compensation along with load balancing of unbalanced loads. This control algorithm inherently
provides a self-supporting DC bus of the VSC used as a DSTATCOM. It can be used for the
direct current control of VSC currents of the DSTATCOM and provides an estimation of
reference compensator currents. However, an indirect current control of supply currents is
preferred to obtain PWM switching signals for the devices used in the CC-VSC working as a
DSTATCOM. This indirect current control of the DSTATCOM offers the advantages of fast
control, reduced burden on the processor (DSP used for implementation), inherent elimination of
sharp notches in currents, and so on. For this purpose, three-phase reference supply currents are
derived using sensed AC voltages (at PCC) and DC bus voltage of the DSTATCOM as feedback
signals. Two PI voltage controllers, one to regulate the DC bus of the VSC used as a
DSTATCOM and other to regulate amplitude of the PCC voltages, are used to estimate the
amplitudes of in-phase and quadrature components of reference supply currents.
Here, proportional (Kpd) and integral (Kid) gain constants are chosen such that a desired DC bus
voltage response is achieved. The output of the PI controller is taken as the amplitude (I*spp) of
the reference supply currents. Now, in-phase components of the three-phase reference supply
currents are computed using their amplitude and in-phase unit vectors derived in phase with the
PCC voltages, and are given as
i∗sa = i∗spp usa
i∗sb = i∗spp usc
i∗sc = i∗spp usc
Where usa , usa , and usa are in-phase unit templates and are derived as

𝑢𝑠𝑎 = ⁄𝑣𝑠𝑝
𝑣𝑠𝑏
𝑢𝑠𝑏 = ⁄𝑣𝑠𝑝
𝑣𝑠𝑐
𝑢𝑠𝑐 = ⁄𝑣𝑠𝑝
