Good quality power supply is a prerequisite for industrial growth. Power quality and reliability cost the industry large amounts each year. Hence, a major challenge for engineers these days is to use the advances in Power Electronic devices and technology to control power flow and provide adaptable, fastacting reactive power correction to changing electrical loads. FACTS (Flexible AC Transmission System) controllers have revolutionized the world in the area of generation, transmission and distribution of power. This paper focuses on DSTATCOM (Distribution Static Synchronous Compensator) which is gaining popularity along with other custom power devices like DVR (Dynamic Voltage Restorer) and UPQC (Unified Power Quality Compensator). This paper deals with various aspects like design, modeling and simulation of DSTATCOM for the power quality improvements.
