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

A Phase-Shifted-PWM D-STATCOM 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 (D-STATCOM) using the modular multilevel cascade converter based on single-star bridge cells (MMCC-SSBC). A three-phase 140-V 10-kVA SSBC-based STATCOM with a cascade count N = 6 is designed, constructed, and tested for verifying the performance and functionality of the med
