Analysis of Cascaded Three-Level Inverter based Multilevel STATCOM in High Power Applications

Amit Kadani, Gopalaiah

Abstract: In this paper a static var compensating scheme is using a cascaded three level inverter based multilevel inverter is proposed. This consist of two three level inverters connected in series through open end windings of a three phase transformer. To envisage the performance of the proposed system under balanced and unbalanced conditions the simulation is carried out in Matlab/Simulink.
