Multilevel Inverter Based Statcom for Power Quality Enhancememt in Multi bus System

Abstract

This paper deals with simulation of STATCOM in multi bus system for power quality enhancement. The unique structure of the multi level voltage source inverter (VSI) permits it to attain high voltages with low harmonic content. The STATCOM injects reactive power in to the proposed 14 bus system. The simulation of the STATCOM is performed in the MATLAB/Simulink environment and the results are presented. The computational and analytical results are tabulated for comparison.
