Figure.9. Harmonic spectra of phase ‘R’ without DSTATCOM condition (a) Source voltage (b) Source current (c) Load current

Figure 9(a)-(c) shows the harmonic spectra of phase ‘R’ source voltage, source current, and load current due to linear and nonlinear load under without DSTATCOM conditions. The THD of a supply voltage of phase ‘R’ is 0.39% and the source current is 14.57% because it has more harmonics, while it is 22.14% for the load current of a non-linear load of the same phase.

B. With Dstatcom Case

1) The System Performance for Balanced Linear and Non-linear Loads

The supply voltages of the system are shown in Figure.10. Figure.11. represents the three-phase source currents under balanced load conditions. Figure.12. shows the load current as a result of non-linear load. Small magnitude is the difference between source and load currents of balanced non-linear load situations because of the source impedance. The supply’s unity power factor controls the reactive power under balanced non-linear load while also efficiently reducing current harmonics on the grid side. Figure.13. represents the R-L load currents are connected across the CPI. To maintain the unity power factor operation with respect to the CPI, VSC feeds the reactive power to the distribution system locally. DSTATCOM‘s compensating currents are depicted in Figure.14. The compensatory current primarily generates the harmonics to load current. Figure.15. Shows the DC voltage, it is maintained constant under balanced linear and non-linear load conditions.
