Abstract: With the extensive use of harmonic generating devices, the control of harmonic currents to maintain a high level of power quality is becoming increasingly important. An effective way to suppress harmonics is harmonic compensation by using passive filters, active power filters and custom power devices. In this paper one of the custom power device called Distribution static synchronous compensator (DSTATCOM) taken to improve the power quality in the distribution systems. This device provides reactive power compensation, load balancing and harmonic current compensation in ac distribution networks. By using this DSTATCOM harmonic current can also be compensated. The reference current is extracted with help of synchronous reference frame theory and control signal to the device is generated from the hysteresis current control method. Both the simulation and the experimental results were analyzed. Simulation results are obtained with a condition of balanced sinusoidal voltage source and balanced load.
