DSTATCOM is a voltage source inverter (VSI) that maintains bus voltage at required levels. Custom power devices are broadly categorized into two

Static Transfer Switch (STS), Static Current Limiter (SCL), Static Circuit Breaker Fast switching for fault isolation and rapid load transfer. Static Current Limiter (SCL)

DSTATCOM, Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR), Unified Power Quality Conditioner (UPQC)

Active filtering, load balancing, and voltage regulation (sag/swell). Major Compensating Devices 1. Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR)

It injects a synchronized voltage into the distribution feeder to maintain a constant load voltage during source disturbances.
