A Five Level Cascaded H-Bridge Multilevel STATCOM



ABSTRACT:
 This paper describes a three-phase cascade Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM) without transformer. Lt presents a control algorithm that meets the demand of load reactive power and also voltage balancing of isolated dc capacitors for H-bridges. The control algorithm used for inverter in this paper is based on a phase shifted carrier (PSC) modulation strategy that has no restriction on the cascaded number. The performance of the STATCOM for different changes of loads was simulated.

CONCLUSION:
The cascaded H-bridge multilevel topology is used as one of the more suitable topologies for reactive-power compensation applications. This paper presents a new control strategy for cascaded H-bridge multilevel converter based STATCOM. By this control strategy, the dc-link voltage of the inverter is controlled at their respective values when the ST A TCOM mode is converted from inductive to capacitive. The dc link voltages of the inverter are kept balanced in all the circumstances, and the reactive power that is produced by the STATCOM is equally distributed among all the H-bridges.
