Abstract: This study addresses the issue of regulating the voltage of a low-voltage distribution system in Nigeria in order to enhance the reliability, stability and quality of power flows in the system. A well-developed graphic facility available in PSCAD/EMTDC is used to carry out extensive simulation studies. Graphics-based model suitable for electromagnetic transient studies is presented for the distribution static compensator (D-STATCOM). Comprehensive results are also presented to assess the performance of the D-STATCOM. Finally, the impact of the dc capacitor size on D-STATCOM performance is highlighted.
