In this paper, a cascaded H-bridge low-capacitance StatCom (LC-StatCom) with a modular inductive filter is introduced. Replacing the fixed-value filter inductors with thyristor-switched reactors, a well-developed member of the static VAR compensators family, reduces the overall energy storage capaci...
