In this paper, an active shaping method of the capacitor voltage for a cascaded H-bridge (CHB) Iow-capacitance static synchronous compensator (LC-StatCom) is introduced. The traditional LC-StatCom is able to operate with large capacitor voltage ripples when it is operating with rated current. Howeve...
