Theoretical Research on the Reactive Power Compensation Converter

The article proposes a novel form of reactive power compensation converter, which adopts an inverter consisted of up and down symmetrical basic units and bidirectional switch. In this work, we have studied the working principle and operation characteristic of this circuit. According to the experimental results, this circuit has many superior performances, such as the output waveform traversing zero smoothly, the less waveform distortion and perfect stability of the frequency and magnitude. Keywords-converter; inverter; waveform distortion; stability of frequency and magnitude.
