Abstract

Cascaded H-bridge (CHB) static compensator (Stat-Com) enhances stability of the electricity power grid, which is becoming ever increasingly vulnerable as a consequence of replacing fossil fuel-based synchronous generators by intermitten renewable sources. A CHB StatCom needs large dc capacitors in the submodules to operate, which is a major drawback that hinders a widespread use of this technology. In order to overcome this drawback, the low-capacitance StatCom (LC-StatCom) technology was developed. Other than reducing the capacitors size, improvement in power quality and reduced losses were listed as further advantages of the LC-StatCom. On the other hand, control challenges and reduced stable operating range are the main challenges of this technology. This study aims to provide a better understanding of the prospects and challenges of the LC-StatCom technology as compared to the conventional C HB StatComs.
