In this paper, the perfect harmonic cancellation (PHC), unity power factor (UPF) control strategies of distribution static compensator (DSTATCOM) are compared along with a newly proposed control strategy. In the proposed strategy, to get the best power factor, the conductance factors for the compensated load are evaluated for a specified source current total harmonic distortion (THD) limit. The performance of this method along with perfect harmonic cancellation (PHC) and unity power factor (UPF) strategies is evaluated on a distribution system model developed using PSCAD 4.2.1. In the distribution system, harmonic resonance is one of the prime factors for the harmonic propagation. Hence, in damping the harmonic resonance, selection of an appropriate control strategy for the DSTATCOM is crucial and this is verified with a detailed study. The simulation results are presented to show the performance of these strategies in load compensation and damping the harmonic propagation in the distribution system.
