Fast acting static synchronous compensator (STATCOM), a representative of FACTS family,
is a promising technology being extensively used as the state-of-the-art dynamic shunt …

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 …

A new transformerless four-leg topology is suggested for shunt compensation, the modular
multilevel converters (MMC) based on the half-bridge converters, to achieve higher …

This paper is related to faults that can appear in multilevel (ML) inverters, which have a high
number of components. This is a subject of increasing importance in high-power inverters …

This paper presents the application of a modular multilevel cascade converter based on
single-delta bridge cells (SDBCs) to a STATic synchronous COMpensator (STATCOM) …

The progression of distributed generation within a bulk power system will lead to the need
for greater control of transmission-line power flows. Static synchronous compensators …

A control scheme for star-connected cascade static synchronous compensators
(STATCOMs) operating under unbalanced conditions is proposed. The STATCOM is …

Uncertainty in the operating condition deviation from the normal equilibrium point in the
transmission level of the power system is being an important problem due to the increasing …

This paper presents a novel dc capacitor voltage balance control method for cascade
multilevel static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) and a general analytical method for …

In this paper, the selective harmonic elimination (SHE) technique is introduced for a
cascaded H-bridge-based static VAR compensator (CHB-STATCOM) with unequal …
