Abstract

The distributed generations (DGs) along with nonlinear loads and unbalanced loads bring new technical challenges to the efficient control of isolated distribution network power quality. Distributed static synchronous compensator (DSTATCOM) is well known to be the most suitable custom power device capable to improve DGs stability, reduce harmonics and have good performances on the regulation of point of common coupling (PCC) under power system disturbances. In this paper, investigation on the performance of DSTATCOM using kernel incremental metal earning algorithm (KIMEL) have been made for voltage stability, harmonics reduction and load balancing in three-phase three-wire isolated distributed generating system based on Self Excited Induction Generator (SEIG) driven by biogas/biomass diesel engine as prime mover. The simulation results obtained in MATLAB/Simulink software verify the robustness, efficiency and effectiveness of the proposed control strategy used in DSTATCOM which achieved the whole study system power quality enhancement.
