N2  - Power Quality (PQ) has become a significant issue in power networks. Power quality disturbances must be precisely and appropriately identified. This activity involves identifying, classifying, and mitigating power quality problems. A case study of the Awada industrial zone in Ethiopia is taken into consideration to show the practical applicability of the proposed work. It is found that the current harmonic distortion levels exceed the restrictions with a maximum percentage Total Harmonic Distortion of Current (THDI) value of up to 23.09%. The signal processing technique, i.e., Stockwell Transform (ST) is utilized for the identification of power quality issues, and it covers the most important and common power quality issues. The Support Vector Machine (SVM) method is used to categorize power quality issues, which enhances the classification procedure. The ST scored better in terms of accuracy than the Wavelet Transform (WT), Fourier Transform (FT), and Hilbert Transform (HT), obtaining 97.1%, as compared to 91.08%, 88.91%, and 86.8%, respectively. The maximum classification accuracy of SVM was 98.3%. To lower the current level of harmonic distortion in the industrial sector, a Distribution Static Compensator (D-STATCOM) is developed in the current control mode. To evaluate the performance of the D-STATCOM, the performance of the distribution network with and without D-STATCOM is simulated. The simulation results show that THDI is reduced to 4.36% when the suggested D-STATCOM is applied in the system.
