Abstract
This paper presents a simulation study for a built prototype of modular multi-level flying capacitor cascade converter as a STATCOM. The converter modulation scheme applied is based on Phase Shifted PWM and the two scenarios which require compensation are investigated to verify this topology. The two scenarios are PCC voltage regulation and unity power factor correction through reactive power compensation. Simulation results verify the performance of the chosen topology
