Abstract

This paper presents the control of a self-excited Induction Generator using DSTATCOM. The performance of the DSTATCOM depends on the extraction of the reference source currents. For this purpose, the control strategy adopted is IRP theory, which is implemented using MATLAB/Simulink. Generation of the PWM pulses triggers the IGBT of the VSI based DSTATCOM. This is achieved using Arduino Due, a 32 bit ARM core microcontroller interfaced with MATLAB/Simulink. The performance of the SEIG is analyzed experimentally in a hardware prototype to evaluate the effect of DSTATCOM. It is observed that SEIG with DSTATCOM provides voltage sag mitigation, reactive power compensation, and power factor improvement.
