Abstract
Simulation studies, confirmed by laboratory experiments, show that the undesirable third harmonic inherently present on the DC link capacitor voltages of multilevel converters can be eliminated by a 6-phase configuration in a shunt multilevel STATCOM. The principle can be extended to eliminate the residual sixth harmonic by configuring a 12-phase STATCOM
