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.} }
