摘要

This paper presents a real-time simulation of a photovoltaic-based distribution static compensator (PV-DSTATCOM) using the Typhoon HIL 604 simulator, demonstrating its effectiveness in reactive power compensation, harmonic mitigation, and active power injection. The system seamlessly transitions between pure DSTATCOM mode, operating during night-time or when PV generation is zero, and PV-DSTATCOM mode, where it injects PV power while enhancing the power quality. A voltage source converter (VSC) regulated by an indirect current control strategy ensures improved power quality at the point of common coupling (PCC). Real-time simulation results under both balanced and unbalanced PCC voltage conditions validate the ability of the PV-DSTATCOM to mitigate power quality disturbances. Notably, the PV-DSTATCOM effectively reduces total harmonic distortion (THD), maintaining levels between 3.03%–5.58% under balanced PCC voltage and 3.95%–5.93% under unbalanced PCC voltage conditions, generally adhering to or remaining near the acceptable limit of IEEE-519 standards across varying solar irradiance levels and non-linear load conditions. Additionally, it maintains a near-unity power factor operation at PCC and stabilizes the DC-link voltage at 900 V (± 5%), ensuring reliable operation.
