The major concern in a growing power quality is harmonics distortion which is caused by the non-linearnature of the loads. This problem has drawn much attention from utilities, users and industries. To reducethe harmonic distortion for improving the power quality of the system a custom power devices has beenproposed. A static compensator (STATCOM) is implemented at distribution level for overcoming several powerquality problems. In this paper, new control technic i.e AI is proposed on shunt compensator to estimates theweight values of load currents. The control approach is based on the convergence of the load currents andproperty of the input signal. A working prototype of the STATCOM is implemented using three-phase VSC andAI control technique based PWM controller approach is developed in MATLAB/SIMULINK.
