Abstract: Power electronic devices, nonlinear and inductive loads have given rise to power quality problem in distribution systems. One way to improve the power quality is using a Static Compensator (STATCOM). This paper presents the simulation studies on a Cascaded H-Bridge converter based Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM) for improving the power quality of a distribution system. The main object of this paper to maintain the voltage profile by compensating the reactive power. Relative Harmonic analysis is also discussed in this paper based on the total harmonic distortion (THD) calculations.
Keywords: Reactive power compensation, STATCOM, H bridge multilevel converter pulse width modulation (PWM), harmonics.
