This paper presents frequency domain method for harmonic analysis of space vector based STATCOM. Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation (SVPWM) method is an advanced PWM method. It is a best method among all the PWM techniques. It provides a freedom in a switching cycle for placement space vector. In this paper, the SVPWM is used for switching of STATCOM. The harmonic (or frequency) domain is a steady-state form of harmonic analysis method, which represents converters to their harmonic spectra. This paper presents harmonic analysis by means of harmonic domain for space vector based Static shunt converter (STATCOM). Performance of the STATCOM is evaluated in harmonic domain simulation studies in MATLAB environment.
