This paper proposes a dc-link voltage shaping method for a cascaded H-bridge (CHB) static synchronous compensator (StatCom). A recently proposed low capacitance-StatCom system, which intentionally operates with large voltage ripples on the dc-link capacitors, offers the advantage of superior harmoni...
