This paper proposes an effective VAR source established as a cascaded H-bridge (CHB) static compensator (STATCOM), which is based on the flux cancellation method. The conventional CHB-STATCOM uses a low-frequency large capacitor as a source. The required capacitance value of the capacitor increases...
