Abstract

In this paper, a FACTS based dynamic switched C-type filter (DSCTF) compensator scheme for

distribution systems is presented with different load characteristics and control strategies. In order to

suppress power quality problems and increase overall energy utilization efficiency; design and digital

realization of the DSCTF consisting of dynamic control strategies are studied. Matlab/Simulink

Software Environment is employed to validate the effectiveness of FACTS DSCTF device. It has been

shown that the proposed FACTS-DSCTF is effective to mitigate power quality and energy utilization

problems as well as in compensating voltage disturbances and current harmonics.

Keywords
