Two mathematical models of an advanced static VAr compensator (ASVC) a
re described. One model was obtained using time-domain analysis of the
ASVC circuit and then developed into an s-domain model which was used
to study the compensator's control system. Both models were validated
using a three phase, 4kVAr hardware model of a three-level ASVC. The
time-domain model was also validated using computer simulations carrie
d out with the EMTDC program. Two switching strategies were considered
in the study: fundamental frequency modulation (FFM) and selective ha
rmonic elimination modulation (SHEM). The time domain model was used t
o predict the waveforms at various parts of the ASVC circuit, for both
switching strategies.
