Abstract: The improvement of power flow in a distributed system can be achieved by the FACTS compensator that is D-STATCOM (DISTRIBUTION_STATIC_COMPENSATOR) also known as which is shunt connected, is explained in this paper. To reduced the Sag-in-voltage issues(power quality issue), a Distribution-STATCOM is used which is connected at PCC (Point of Common Coupling).The advantage of quick operation of Distribution-STATCOM makes the it more efficient and hence power flow is improved. Varied controllers are utilzed to operate the Distribution-STATCOM. To enhance the power flow, we are simulating and designing it with PI Controller. In distribution networks with linear balanced loads, their power flow can be increases at varied fault conditions such as L-L Faults (Line to Line),L-G Faults (Line to Ground), L-L-G Faults, L-L-L-G Faults. These faults are studied and simulated output waveforms are presented also calculating THD (Total Harmonic Distortion) with and without Distribution-STATCOM Compensator. The harmonics and Sag-in-voltages due to LG, LLG & LLLG faults in this proposed system are reduced and we can achieve enhanced power flow. The reduction of faults and trhe value of THD ( Total-Harmonic-Distortion) can be simulated and studied in MATLAB.
