3-level, 72-pulse STATCOM
This model is a 3-level STATCOM with 72 switches for the voltage stabilization of a 77 kV bus. A multi-pulse transformer allowing for a three-phase to 18-phases AC system is interfacing the FACTS system to the grid. A relatively low frequency PWM switching algorithm is applied (300 Hz carrier frequency) to reduce switching losses in the STATCOM. However, the multi-pulse topology with six (6) 3-level bridges allows for characteristic harmonics elimination as each bridge carrier signals are interlaced with a phase shift of 1/6 of the carrier period.
