Abstract :
An alternative control strategy of a STATCOM, based on hysteresis current control of the switches is presented. It is shown that a STATCOM under hysteresis current control will have nearly sinusoidal output current for reactive power compensation while keeping the STATCOM in its simplest configuration. The proposed device was simulated using ATP-EMTP, and the results demonstrate the advantages of hysteresis control
