Realization of superconducting-magnetic energy storage supported DSTATCOM using deep Bayesian Active Learning

Abstract

The Distributed Static Compensator (DSTATCOM) is being recognized as a shunt compensator in the power distribution networks (PDN). In this research study, the superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) is deployed with DSTATCOM to augment the assortment compensation capability with reduced DC link voltage. The proposed SMES is characterized by a DC-DC converter with different circuit elements like one inductor, two diodes and two insulated gate bipolar transistors. The Deep Bayesian Active Learning algorithm is suggested to operate SMES supported DSTATCOM for the elimination of harmonics under different loading scenarios. Apart from this, the other benefits like improvement in power factor, load balancing, potential regulation are attained. The simulation studies obtained from the proposed method demonstrates the correctness of the design and analysis compared to the DSTATCOM. To show the power quality effectiveness, balanced and unbalanced loading are considered for the shunt compensation as per the guidelines imposed by IEEE-519-2017 and IEC- 61000-1 grid code.
