As the commercial and industrial customers are facing various power issues on the electrical distribution system which are popularly known as custom power products, so to get rid of these problems there are various new technologies has been developed. On the basis of their structures the custom power product has been classified into three different categories such as dynamic voltage regulation (DVR), distribution static compensator (STATCOM). Among these the STATCOM is a custom power product, which is a shunt connected power electronic based device and used to compensate the reactive power factor, which means it protect the electrical system from polluting load. There are several advantages of STATCOM thus due to this we can use the STATCOM in place of traditional VAR compensator. There are three main parts in STATCOM which are three phase voltage source inverter, injection transformer, DC LINK. The performance of STATCOM can be calculated by the controlling algorithm which is the extraction of current components. Thus for measuring the performance there are several algorithms have been developed which are based on the various theories and strategies.
