D-STATCOM is a custom power device which is used in distribution system to control the flow of reactivepower. The load compensation by shunt connected compensator are fast executed and maintains unity power factorwhile load balancing reducing line losses. D-STATCOM injects a current in to the system to correct the voltage sag andswell. The control of the Voltage Source Converter (VSC) is done with the help of SVPWM. The SVPWM switchingalgorithm has reduced commutation losses, lower harmonic distortion and has better amplitude modulation index. Thereis an increasing trend of using space vector PWM (SVPWM) as easier digital realization and better dc bus utilization canbe obtained. The proposed and implementation of SVPWM in VSC of D-STATCOM using PI controller is designed andsimulated using MATLAB/SIMULINK software.
