Role of DSTATCOM in a power system network with induction furnace load

The application of Distribution static synchronous compensator (DSTATCOM) with fuzzy controller in a distribution network with induction furnace load is investigated and presented in this paper. The problem with the induction furnace load is that it introduces appreciable amount of harmonic distortion in the power system network. The performances of other loads connected in the power system network are also affected because of the presence of induction furnace load. In this paper, the results obtained for the SIMULINK model illustrating the application of DSTATCOM with Fuzzy controller for reducing the harmonic distortion in the load current in the distribution network with induction furnace load, are presented.
