title = "DC capacitor voltage balancing control for delta-connected cascaded h-bridge STATCOM considering the unbalanced grid and load conditions",
abstract = "In this paper, a comprehensive control scheme for a delta-connected cascaded h-bridge (CHB) converter based static synchronous compensator(STATCOM) is presented, especially focusing on improving dynamic performance by novel feedforward control method. The method can conspicuously improve the dynamics of circulating current regulation of delta connected CHB STATCOM especially under grid fault condition as well as load unbalance without excessive DC cell capacitor voltage fluctuation. The full scaled simulation results and the down scaled experimental results verify that stable operation is guaranteed for both emulated grid and load unbalance conditions.",
