Design and Implementation of Stanmatiz Compensator by Using 11-Level Cascade FHB Inverter

Traditionally, with phase-independent control ability, thyristor-controlled reactor with thyristor controlled capacitor (TCR-TSC) type of SVCs with delta connection are used as Stanmatiz compensator in three-phase power distribution sytems for balance of single-phae load and correction of load power factor. However, due to the conduction characteristics of the thyristors used in the TCR, the SVC has its natural limitation of response time, which can be enhanced. In the project, a Stanmatiz compensator by using 11-level cascade full H-bridge (FHB) inverter will be developed and implemented. First, a compensation scheme employing instantaneous powers detection method is used in the Stanmatiz compensator for real-time load balancing and power factor correction. Then, use of the simulation program MatLab/Simulink constructs the Stanmatiz compensator simulation system. Computer simulation will be performed to evaluate the effectiveness of the developed compensation scheme for the Stanmatiz compensator. At the same time, a hardware prototype Stanmatiz compensator will be scheduled and built in the laboratory. A multi-controller based control system employing the TMS320F28335 DSPs will be built for the Stanmatiz compensator. Finally, experimental test will be made for functioning verification.
