To meet the power requirements for consumers without any voltage fluctuations and losses, modeling and design of multilevel inverter with Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) capability is presented. The presented inverter is provided with 13-level cascaded H-bridge topology of Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBTs) connected along with inbuilt Distributed Static Synchronous Compensators (DSTATCOM). The DSTATCOM device provides control of power factor stability at local feeder lines and the inverter eliminates Total Harmonic Distortion (THD). The 13-level inverter utilizes 52 switches of each H-bridge is fed with single DC sources separately and the Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) technique is used for switching IGBTs. The control strategy implemented for inverter transmits active power to grid as well as it maintains power factor to be stable with achievement of steady state power transmission. Significant outcome of this project is improvement of output voltage quality with steady state power transmission with low THD. Simulation of inverter with DSTATCOM is performed using MATLAB\/Simulink environment. The scaled prototype model of proposed inverter is built and its results were validated with simulated results.","references":"[1]\tColin Tareila, Pedram Sotoodeh and Ruth Douglas Miller, \u201cDesign and control of a Single- phase D-STATCOM Inverter for Wind Applications\u201d, IEEE Proceedings of Power Electronics and Drive Systems, pp. 1\u20135, July 2012.\r\n[2]\tJuan Manuel Carrasco, Leopoldo Garcia Franquelo, Jan T.
