Abstract

In this paper a new Multilevel Inverter with Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) capability is presented. The main objective is to control the output voltage and reduce the harmonics distortion at the output by increasing the number of levels in the modular multilevel inverter. By using the proposed inverter for small to medium size wind application will eliminate the capacitor banks as well as FACTS device to control the power factor of the distribution line. In this paper is a new way to increase the penetration of renewable energy system into distribution systems.

In proposed technique A 15-level inverter with FACTS capability for distributed energy systems is proposed to improve the efficiency and reduce the harmonics such as Total Harmonics distortion (THD) and Electromagnetic Interference is reduced.

The simulations for a 15-level inverter have been done in MATLAB/Simulink.
