In high frequency and high voltage applications the parasitic capacitors play important role in common mode voltages. In this paper, parasitic capacitors and CMV are modeled in a multilevel cascaded STATCOM and also</span> <span style="line-height:115%">parasitic currents are calculated, then a method will be proposed to reduce the effects of the parasitic capacitors. The values of parasitic capacitors are calculated by finite element software. Finally, a delta connection 13-level cascaded STATCOM with parasitic capacitors will be simulated in MATLAB Simulink and then simulation results will be presented.</span></span></span></span></div> STATCOM,Common Mode Voltage,Multilevel Inverters,Parasitic Capacitors 2281 2281 http://ijeee.iust.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-2066-2&slc_lang=en&sid=1 S.
