Control schemes for DC capacitor voltages equalization in diode-clamped multilevel inverter-based DSTATCOM

This paper examines the application of a diodeclamped multilevel inverter (DCMLI)-based distribution static compensator (DSTATCOM) connected to a three-phase, four-wire (3p4w) distribution system. The DCMLI has an inherent unbalancing problem among its dc capacitor voltages. Additionally, when the l...
