| Abstract |
An investigation of the technical and economic merits of an N-Level Advanced Static Var Compensator (ASVC) was made. A general analysis of the multi-level ASVC was carried out and performance indices were determined for levels ranging from 3 to 14. Special interest was given to harmonic performance based on a selective harmonic elimination strategy, device utilisation and economic considerations. As the number of levels is increased more harmonics can be eliminated, but the complexity and the expense of the convertor is increased. The device and convertor utilisation considerations show that a high number of levels is not economic and a good compromise is the interconnection of phase shifted 6-level bridge convertors. |
