The document discusses the design and simulation of a five-level cascaded H-bridge multilevel inverter used as a distribution static compensator (DSTATCOM) to improve power factor and reduce harmonic distortion in power systems. It employs d-q reference frame theory and proportional-integral control for regulation and utilizes MATLAB/Simulink for simulation outcomes. Results showcase the effectiveness of the DSTATCOM in various scenarios, highlighting its advantages and including simulations under nonlinear loads.
