Abstract

A variable learning rate least mean-square (LMS) based on hyperbolic tangent function is used to enhance the rate of convergence and to suppress the existing noise in the system for the control of distribution static compensator (DSTATCOM) consisting of a three-leg voltage source converter (VSC) with a zig-zag transformer to eliminate the significant neutral current caused by non-linear unbalanced loads in a three-phase four-wire supply system. Simulation is made for the proposed control algorithm in three-phase four-wire DSTATCOM system and its performance is compared with the conventional Adaline-based LMS control algorithm. It is also shown that the convergence rate of the proposed control algorithm is quite faster in comparison with the conventional control algorithm. A prototype of DSTATCOM is developed and the real-time implementation of the proposed control algorithm is performed on a digital signal processor. Test results have demonstrated the satisfactory performance of DSTATCOM with the proposed control algorithm under linear and non-linear loads.
