Abstract— In day-to-day life we need more power for the daily need of power consumption, and we need a more and more alternative for power generation. Nowadays the more power demand is more, and we need to catch the power demand of the world for daily purposes and various needs. Green energy resources play an important role in the power system and they like solar energy and wind energy and many are the alternatives for the power system. Also, the photovoltaic system is majorly used in generation of electricity. This is the green energy resource for a generation of an electricity The PV generation is it is the clean type of green energy, and this is the low in maintenance and easy for install low in maintenance also. The quality of a power is to focus for use and to avoid issues in power quality. Along with the quantity there is a big need to focus on the quality of the power. There are many power quality issues like poor power factor, voltage variations, harmonics, and excessive reactive power etc. To overcome all power quality related issues various filters are used. STATCOM is the static synchronous compensator is a fast-acting device capable of providing or absorbing reactive power and thereby regulating the voltage. measured according to national/international guidelines. In this paper, the proposed scheme Static Compensator (STATCOM) is connected to the loads of the grid to improve the power quality. The proposed model is simulated, studied, and analyzed in MATLAB/Simulink. This compensator is proposed to improve power quality to keep different problems with the IEEE standards.
