        abstract = {Power quality (PQ) issues are among the most common challenges faced when integrating renewable energy sources into electrical power networks. This paper addresses the enhancement of PQ in a PV system using a Distribution Static Synchronous Compensator (D-STATCOM). The optimal parameters for the D-STATCOM controller are determined using Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). To evaluate the performance of the proposed system with D-STATCOM, a comparison with conventional device conducted under various operating conditions particularly harmonic distortion. The proposed method's robustness and effectiveness are demonstrated through extensive simulations. The D-STATCOM system and its controller are implemented and tested using MATLAB/SIMULINK. The proposed system can maintain voltage at suitable levels and elevate voltage during events. Additionally, the system achieves a reduction in total harmonic distortion.},
