  • Development of a D-STATCOM Control Based on Fuzzy Logic
    Ahmad Feras Akkad, Elena Sosnina, Natalya Erdili, Daniil Gusev
    Rusautocon Proceedings of the International Russian Automation Conference, 2024
    The use of D-STATCOM enable to reduce the harmonic components of current and voltage fluctuations in an electric network with distributed generation. Traditional control methods cause the slow response of D-STATCOM when connecting to a network of renewable energy sources (RES) power plants with stochastic and nonlinear generation. The use of a fuzzy logic controller allows you to increase the efficiency of D-STATCOM. A D-STATCOM control algorithm has been developed that combines Mamdani's expert fuzzy logic for voltage regulation and Sugeno's fuzzy controller for current regulation with pulse width modulation (PWM). The results of experimental studies conducted on a MATLAB model of an electrical network section with RES and D-STATCOM confirmed the effectiveness of the developed algorithm.
  • Application of a Fuzzy Logic Controller in a D-STATCOM in an Electrical Network with Distributed Generation
    Ahmad Feras Akkad, Natalya Erdili, Elena Sosnina
    Proceedings 2023 International Russian Smart Industry Conference Smartindustrycon 2023, 2023
    The article is devoted to the problem of increasing the response speed of the D-STATCOM connected to an electrical network with distributed generation (DG). Distributed generation based on renewable energy sources (RES) has a negative impact on the quality of electricity in distribution networks. The use of the D-STATCOM allows to reduce non-sinusoidal voltage and it fluctuations in the network. The traditional control methods based on the PI controller cause a slow response of the D-STATCOM, which is unacceptable, especially in transient conditions with rapid changes in RES generation. It is proposed to use a fuzzy logic controller to increase the response speed and efficiency of the D-STATCOM and to ensure the better power quality of the DG system.
