A Phase Shifted PWM D STATCOM Using a Modular Multilevel Cascade Converter SSBC

A PhaseShiftedPWM DSTATCOM Using a Modular Multilevel Cascade Converter (SSBC)Part I Modeling, Analysis, and Design of Current Control: This paper presents and discusses a phaseshifted PWM distribution static synchronous compensator (DSTATCOM) using the modular multilevel cascade converter based on singlestar bridge cells (MMCCSSBC). A threephase 140V 10kVA SSBCbased STATCOM with a cascade count N 6 is designed, constructed, and tested for verifying the performance and functionality of the med
