Abstract

The Distribution system is heavily loaded with Non-Linear Loads (NNLs). NNLs are the main source harmonics in distribution system, the injected harmonics distorts the voltage-current waveshape and leads to numerous power quality issues. The poor quality of supply will degrade the equipment connected, increased losses, low performances and high vulnerability in stability. Hence the harmonic mitigation is utmost important for safe and stable operation of the system. In this work review of topology and construction of one such harmonic mitigation device that is, STATCOM id presented. STATCOM is widely used in distribution system to mitigate load generated harmonics and restore the sinusoidal wave shape. As per the requirement and applications, STATCOM are available in numerous topologies. These topologies are overviewed in this paper.
