Voltage profile improvement in distribution networks using DSTATCOM and UPQC by reducing power loss

The two compensators (DSTATCOM and UPQC placement) for improving the voltage profile in the Distribution Network are the subject of a comparative analysis proposed in this research. Innovative DSTATCOM (Distributed Static Compensator) and Unified Power Quality Conditioner (UPQC) are allocated in the Distribution Network for voltage profile improvement. Based on the obtained results, the voltage profile has been improved using DSTATCOM (0.9339 p.u) than UPQC (0.9273 p.u) placement. DSTATCOM gives better voltage profile improvement than UPQC for the selected data set.
