Static VAR Compensators are electrical devices that provides fast-acting reactive power (hence the var) on high-voltage electricity transmission networks or power system. Electrical loads both generate and absorb reactive power. Since the transmitted load varies considerably from one hour to another, the reactive power balance in a grid varies as well. The result can be unacceptable voltage amplitude variations, a voltage depression, or even a voltage collapse.

Static Var Compensator (SVC) SVC is an advanced capacitor bank using Thyristor for providing fast-acting reactive power compensation on high voltage electricity transmission networks. SVC is an automated impedance matching device, designed to bring the system closer to unity power factor.

This paper presents an evolutionary computation algorithm for enhancing voltage stability. GAs will determine the most vulnerable bus in the power system, where the Static VAR Compensator (SVC) is needed to be installed at that bus as well as considering installation cost of SVC.

The purpose of the compensator is to provide dynamic voltage control and reduce fast voltage variations created by the operation of two DC arc furnaces, each rated at 130 MVA. Two ladle furnaces, each rated at 21.5 MVA, are being compensated as well. Dynamic power factor correction is also provided by the SVC, achieving an overall power factor for the plant of close to unity during all operational conditions. Read more...
A new static var compensator(SVC) system using three-level inverter is proposed f o r high voltage and high power applications. A general and simple model f o r the overall system is obtained using circuit DQ-transform and DC and AC analyses are achieved to characterize the open-loop system. Using the proposed model, a new control method which controls both the phase angle and modulation index of switching pattern simultaneously is suggested to provide fas t response of SVC system without using independent voltage source. Finally, predicted results are verified by computer simulation. Read more...

Solutions for Static Var Compensator
High-power rapid impact loads, rapid growth of asymmetrical impact loads like electrified railway, increase in distributed wind power generation equipments, connections/disconnections of large loads and inevitable power system faults, are adverse factors which can lead to considerable reactive disturbances in power system and affect power stability, power quality and economy of power grid operation. It is essential to adjust reactive power in the power grid expeditiously to achieve a reasonable power flow distribution, which is also very important in phase modulation, voltage regulation and overvoltage restriction.
