Abstract

In this paper, the controller robustness is studied for an indirect controlled cascaded-type based multi-level Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM) with 'square wave control'. The MATLAB based small-signal analytical model is used to perform eigenvalue analysis and to design controllers. Two different advanced control techniques are investigated and compared against the conventional method of proportionalintegral (PI) feedback voltage control. The first strategy includes an additional current feedback, which shows minimal benefit. The second strategy considers a phase-lead compensation and indicates significantly shorter eigenvalue branches and improved robustness. The final results are confirmed with detailed nonlinear PSCAD simulation.
