A 100-Mvar STATCOM regulates voltage on a three-bus 500-kV system. The 48-pulse STATCOM uses a Voltage-Sourced Converter (VSC) built of four 12-pulse three-level GTO inverters. Look inside the STATCOM block to see how the VSC inverter is built. The four sets of three-phase voltages obtained at the output of the four three-level inverters are applied to the secondary windings of four phase-shifting transformers (-15 deg., -7.5 deg., 7.5 deg., +7.5 deg. phase shifts). The fundamental components of voltages obtained on the 500 kV side of the transformers are added in phase by the serial connection of primary windings. Please refer to the "power_48pulsegtoconverter" example to get details on the operation of the VSC. During steady-state operation the STATCOM control system keeps the fundamental component of the VSC voltage in phase with the system voltage. If the voltage generated by the VSC is higher (or lower) than the system voltage, the STATCOM generates (or absorb
