Abstract

This paper expands a previous study regarding application of modular variable filter inductor in a cascaded H-bridge low-capacitance StatCom (LC-StatCom). In this paper, the benefit of having such a filter to expand the operating capability of the LC-StatCom into the inductive region is demonstrated. A comparison between the modular filter inductor and thyristor bypassed series inductor solutions is performed through derivation of analytic expressions. The added capacity to operate in the inductive region is also validated via experimental results.
