The paper investigates the STATCOM system based on five-level cascaded inverter controlled using carrier-based pulse width modulation (CB-PWM) technique. In this work, the STATCOM is controlled to provide only the reactive power compensation at the point of common coupling (PCC) when an RL load is c...
