Abstract

A Power quality problem is an occurrence manifested as a nonstandard voltage, current or frequency that results in a failure of end user equipments. Voltage flicker is considered as one of the most severe power quality problems caused by large time-varying loads like arc furnaces. To reduce this kind of disturbances, Static Var Compensators (SVC) has been used so far which have a limited flicker mitigation capability. In the paper, 12-pulse converter based STATCOM has been proposed for effective mitigation of Voltage flicker and reduction of total harmonic distortion in the system. All the simulations have been performed using MATLAB Software. The obtained results show that 12-pulse converter based STATCOM is very efficient and effective for the mitigation of voltage flickering and THD reduction
