Abstract: This research paper focuses on the design and simulation of a D-STATCOM when connected to a distribution system. Simulink from MATLAB is used in the design and simulation of the D-STATCOM. With the struggle envisioned for trying the project in a real power system, the Sim-Power Systems (SPS) software provides me with the required simplicity and relative analytical power to rapidly design the D-STATCOM model example which had been validated from Power Systems Testing and Simulation Laboratory of Hydro-Quebec, a utilities lab situated in Canada. The D-STATCOM was tested by varying different parameters like the voltage, load etc. and from readings at different time intervals the inductive, capacitive and no load mode was seen. Many other factors that affect power quality are also describe from the simulation which production and reduction of active and reactive power, changes in the modulation index etc. The D-STATCOM's fast and effective response was proven through the simulations.
Keywords: simulation of a D-STATCOM, reactive power, modulation index, Simulink.
