Static Var Compansator

SVC is a static var compensator, which is one of the FACTS devices connected in parallel to the power system. It generates or absorbs reactive power to control power system parameters like voltage. SVC operates by adjusting its output to exchange capacitive or inductive current and maintain bus voltage. There are different types of SVC compensators that use thyristor controlled reactors and capacitors. SVC applications include stabilizing transmission voltages, increasing transmission capacity, damping oscillations, and improving distribution voltage stability and symmetry.

Flexible AC Transmission System 2

(FACTS)
 FACTS enhance the controllability and power transfer capability in AC systems.
It gives a new opportunity in controlling and enhancing the power system. It is
used for the AC transmission of electrical energy due to static and it is generally
power electronics based device.
 FACTS solutions is particularly justifiable in applications requiring THE
following qualities:
 Rapid dynamic response
 Ability for frequent variations in output
 Smoothly adjustable output
STATIC VAr Compensator 3

 SVC is one of the FACTS devices, which are connected in parallel to the power
system, which generate or absorb reactive power from the system to control
power system parameters such as voltage.
 Static var compensator (SVC) is a set of electrical devices for providing fast
acting reactive power on high voltage electrical transmission and distribution
networks. SVC output is adjusted to exchange capacitive or inductive current to
maintain or control specific parameters of the electrical power system (typically
bus voltage).

Application of SVC 7
 Transmission system applications:
 − stabilizes the voltages in weak power systems;
 − reduces power losses in transmission lines;
 − increases the transmission capacity to reduce, defer or eliminate the need for new lines;
 − contributes to power and voltage oscillations damping;
 − enhances voltage and stability control.
 Distribution system applications:
 − stabilizes the voltage at the receiving end of long distribution lines;
 − reduces the reactive power absorbed from the main grid, which leads to lower losses and
improved tariffs;
 - balances the asymmetrical loads
 − reduces the voltage fluctuations and light flicker
