Generalized DC voltage regulation strategy for η: 1 relation cascade H-bridge converter-based STATCOM Conference Paper uri icon

abstract

  • This paper presents a generalized DC voltage regulation strategy, for both symmetric (η=1) and asymmetric (η=2,3) multilevel converters used in a static VAR compensator. The objective is to keep regulated the DC links and the reactive power compensation. The strategy is applied to a single phase converter with a combination of staircase and PWM technique. Simulation results on PSM are presented showing a good performance of proposed control strategy. © 2009 IEEE.
