In this paper, application of thyristor switched reactors as a filtering inductor for the cascaded H-bridge low-capacitance static compensator (LC-StatCom) is demonstrated. Replacing the fixed-value filter inductor with thyristor switched reactors reduces the overall energy storage capacity and volt...
