The purpose of this work is to provide a control strategy of voltage and reactive power flow in one of the most used FACTS devices known as STATCOM. This strategy is based on a hybrid control (sliding mode control-classic PI control), in addition STATCOM uses a 48-pulse converter. The simulations proved the efficiency of the proposed system in both the control performance and harmonic distortion rate of the current injected into the grid.enSTATCOM; Sliding Mode Control; Reactive power compensation; 48-pulse converter; harmonicsArticle
