Abstract
This paper describes a static synchronous compensator with thyristor switches, which operates as a current-source PWM inverter with assistance of commutation circuit. The system operation was verified in detail through computer simulations with EMTP, and experiments with a scaled hardware model. The proposed system has two advantages of low switching loss and easy expansion of operation voltage through series connection of thyristors
