Abstract :
A novel high power self-commutated static VAr compensator for load compensation is proposed. The harmonics are eliminated by combining low frequency high power devices and high frequency low power devices. A modified control strategy is also proposed for applications involving high and faster rate of change in VAr demand. Detailed simulation studies for single phase and three phase topologies are presented
