“…This is best accomplished by regulating the PWM switching commands to alter the modulation index and phase angle in Equation [7.5]. Since its inception, a variety of control approaches have been proposed for STATCOM dynamic control (Schauder and Mehta, 1993;Lehn and Iravani, 1998;Rao et al ., 2000;Sahoo et al ., 2002;Wang et al ., 2002;Liu et al ., 2003;Dong et al ., 2004;Soto and Pena, 2004;El-Moursi and Sharaf, 2005;Cheng et al ., 2006;Jain et al ., 2006;Lu and Ooi, 2007;Mohagheghi et al ., 2007;Saeedifard et al ., 2007;Song et al ., 2007Song et al ., , 2009Sternberger and Jovcic, 2009;Hatano and Ise, 2010;Liu and Hsu, 2010;Spitsa et al ., 2010;Wang and Crow, 2011). The majority of approaches involve traditional linear control techniques, in which the nonlinear equations of the VSC average value model are linearized at a specifi c equilibrium (Schauder and Mehta, 1993;Lehn and Iravani, 1998;Rao et al ., 2000;Liu et al ., 2003;Dong et al ., 2004;El-Moursi and Sharaf, 2005;Cheng et al ., 2006;Saeedifard et al ., 2007;Sternberger and Jovcic, 2009;Hatano and Ise, 2010).…”
