This paper presents a space vector modulation (SVM) Based on a dynamic model of the NPC-based STATCOM, two based switching strategy for an NPC-based STATCOM. The controllers to regulate the dc-side voltage and control the injected reactive power are designed. Performance of the STATCOM proposed SVM offers the following salient features: and the corresponding controllers are evaluated based on digital • higher magnitude of ac-side voltage, as compared with that time-domain simulation studies in the PSCAD/EMTDC environ- of an SPWM technique [14]–[1
