Abstract: (CPS-SPWM) technology is easy to implement, the equivalent carrier frequency is high, has become a cascade of multi-power The flat inverter uses the most extensive modulation method. In this paper, the mathematical model of STATCOM is established and the control strategy is studied. The STATCOM simulation of the H-bridge cascade five-level inverter based on CPS-SPWM control is built on the MATLAB / Simulink platform. The waveform is observed and the output result is analyzed to verify that the synchronous reactive power compensator Compensation effect.
