The control strategy of D-STATCOM directly influence its compensation accuracy, switch frequency and power loss. A novel control strategy is proposed to reduce the switch frequency on the assurance of its compensation accuracy. Combining hysteresis current control method with SVPWM, the control strategy proposes that different current size uses different control method to realize fast track and low switch frequency; at the same time, the determination of current error threshold method is analyzed considering different control strategy has different compensation delay for D-STATCOM. Simulation and experiment show this method can reduce switch frequency efficiently and high compensation accuracy, so the correctness and feasibility of the proposed method is proved.
