Abstract: The multilevel converter has drawn tremendous interest in the power industry. The general structure of the multilevel converter is to synthesize a sinusoidal voltage from several levels of dc voltages. Multilevel voltage source converters are emerging as a new breed of power converter options for both medium and high power applications. This paper deals with the design and implementation of a five level cascade H bridge converter (CHB) based static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) employing an effective modulation control technique simulated in a MATLAB Simulink environment. The main object of this paper to maintain the voltage profile by compensating the reactive power. Relative Harmonic analysis is also discussed in this paper based on the total harmonic distortion (THD) calculations.
Keywords: Reactive power compensation, STATCOM, multilevel converter topology, pulse width modulation (PWM), harmonics.
