This paper presents an investigation in power system for compensation of reactive power and harmonics of 13-level cascaded H-bridge (CHB) inverter. Due to their many advantages in terms of low power dissipation on power supplies, low harmonic contents, the topologies of multilevel inverters are being used in medium and high power applications such as an active power filter, FACTS devices and a machine current. To control the multilevel inverter, the selected switching techniques play an important role on elimination of harmonic distortion in generated output voltage. We can use ?s? dc sources for 2s+1 level for calculating the number of levels. This model is used to calculate the instantaneous reactive power and design a control scheme using abc coordinates for reactive power compensation. The simulation result of MATLAB/Simulink software indicates the superior performance of the proposed control system as well as the precision of the proposed models.
