Design of Cascaded H Bridge STATCOM with Distributed Control

Abstract

Aiming at the problem of low redundancy in the structure of the cascaded H-bridge STATCOM. This paper studies and designs a cascaded H-bridge STATCOM device based on STM32 distributed control. The article introduces the basic topology of the device and the realization principle of the control system. The turn-on and turn-off time of the MOSFET in each H-bridge is calculated by using the law of minimum harmonics, realize the output of the fitted sine wave. A simulation model of 12H bridge cascade is built in the EMTP power system electromagnetic transient analysis simulation software. The simulation results show the correctness and reliability of the design.
