Simultaneous Integration of Renewable Energy Resources and D STATCOM Using Advance Optimization Technique for Improved Power Quality

This thesis addresses the growing energy demand and the slow expansion of power systems by integrating renewable energy sources and Distribution Synchronous Static Compensators (D-STATCOM) into low voltage distribution networks. Excessive renewable penetration can cause voltage imbalances and power losses. The proposed method uses photovoltaic (PV)-based distributed generators (DG) with non-linear backstepping controllers and Lyapunov-controlled D-STATCOM to mitigate these issues. Optimal placement and sizing, achieved through Grey Wolf and Black Widow optimization algorithms, minimize power losses and enhance voltage stability. The integration of PV-DG and D-STATCOM improves power quality and system performance, as evidenced by the study's outcomes.
