Average Power Balancing Control of a STATCOM based on the Cascaded H-Bridge PWM Converter with Star Configuration

Average Power Balancing Control of a STATCOM Based on the Cascaded H-Bridge PWM Converter With Star Configuration Abstract: This paper presents the average power balancing (APB) control method for the modular multilevel cascaded converter based on single-star bridge cells in the static synchronous compensator applications. The proposed control method accomplishes both the reactive power compensation […]


An Advanced STATCOM Model for Optimal Power Flows Using Newton’s Method

An Advanced STATCOM Model for Optimal Power Flows Using Newton’s Method Abstract: This paper presents the optimal power flow (OPF) formulation of a recent power flow STATCOM model . The new model puts forward an alternative, insightful interpretation of the fundamental frequency operation of the PWM-controlled voltage source converter (VSC), in an optimal fashion. The […]
