Abstract
STATCOM a power electronic based device is widely used for reactive power compensation. In the present work, a STATCOM is realized by employing a 3-level neutral point clamped inverter which is controlled by space vector pulse width modulation technique. Switching sequence for STATCOM is designed by minimizing the deviation in neutral voltage. Subsequently, the STATCOM is connected to the load side of a power network and by varying source voltage, reactive power control is accomplished resulting in voltage control of load side and improving the power quality of the network. The present work will be useful to the utilities dealing with reactive power and voltage control of AC transmission networks.
