Multilevel Voltage-Source Converters (VSC) based on modular structures are envisioned as
a prominent alternative for grid and industry applications. Foremost among these are the …

The Static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) is a renowned FACTS (flexible alternating
current transmission system) device used in power grids to cope with protean conditions …

Fault-tolerant operation ability is of great importance for stable operation of cascaded H-
bridge (CHB) converters, under open-circuit (OC) or short-circuit (SC) switch failures in …

This article proposes an unbalanced voltage compensation method for a dispersed wind
farm (DWF) by cooperating permanent magnetic synchronous generators (PMSGs) with a …

In this article, a new method is introduced for operation of three-phase symmetric cascaded
H-bridge (CHB) multilevel inverter after failure of power switches. When a switch fails, the …

The cascaded-H-bridge (CHB) type converter is widely used in grid-tied applications, such
as static var generator (SVG), static synchronous compensator (STATCOM), and …

This article investigates the operation of cascaded H-bridge (CHB) based static synchronous
compensator (STATCOM) after failure in its submodules (SMs). Once a switch fails, the …

The star-connected Cascaded H-Bridge (CHB) converter is one of the most attractive
multilevel topologies for medium/high-voltage STATCOM. However, due to the fact that CHB …

Negative-sequence current is required to be intentionally injected to support the power grid
or compensate the imbalanced load in asymmetrical faults utilizing STATCOM. However, the …

Space vector modulation (SVM) is a mature modulation scheme, which is widely used for
voltage source inverters. In this article, a flexible online SVM scheme is proposed for a …
