This document summarizes research on using a Real Switch Count Multi-Level Converter (RSC-MLC) based smart PV-DSTATCOM for multiple objectives including improving power quality, compensating reactive power flow, and optimizing the DC link voltage. A DSTATCOM uses a voltage source converter to inject current and control reactive power flow. The proposed method uses an RSC-MLC to regulate the DC link voltage from a PV source, reducing voltage stress on switches and minimizing losses. It can supply solar power to loads and compensate reactive power with battery support when solar power is unavailable. The document reviews related work on DSTATCOM control and applications and provides details on controlling the proposed RSC-MLC based PV-
