A new multilevel STATCOM based on cascaded two level inverters

Abstract: In this paper a new multilevel STATCOM based on cascaded two level inverter is proposed. This topology has better utilization of dc link voltage and low THD. It consists of two conventional three phase two level inverters connected in cascade. The cascaded inverter uses 12-sided polygonal voltage space vectors. To obtain 12-sided polygonal voltage space vectors, the dc link voltage of inverter-2 must be maintained at 0.366 times dc link voltage of inverter-1. A simple control strategy is proposed for reactive … Show more

“…In fact, this configuration uses industry proven modules of three-phase H-bridges without additional diodes, switches or capacitive dividers. The structure of this multilevel power converter was already used in applications, such as the control of open-end winding induction motor, static synchronous compensator STATCOM and grid-connected photovoltaic systems [32][33][34][35]. This paper proposes its application to HVDC systems, presenting a vector controller based on sliding mode control.…”
