A power quality issue is an incident that manifests as a nonstandard voltage, current, or frequency, resulting in a failure or mis-operation of end-user equipment. Utility distribution networks, sensitive industrial loads, and important commercial activities all suffer from different sorts of outages and service disruptions, which may result in severe financial losses. With the reorganisation of power networks and the transition toward distributed and scattered generation, the problem of power quality will take on new dimensions. In developing nations like India, where variations in power frequency and other variables of power quality are a severe concern, it is critical to take meaningful advances in this area. The current effort aims to identify the most pressing issues in this area, and as a result, recommendations for steps to improve power quality are made. This paper presents the enhancement of voltage sags/swell; harmonic distortion and low power factor using Distribution Static Compensator (D-STATCOM). The model is based on the Voltage Source Converter (VSC) principle. The D-STATCOM injects a current into the system to mitigate the voltage sags/swell. to improve harmonic distortion and low power factor. The simulations were performed using MATLAB SIMULINK version R2019a.
