THE ROLE OF STATIC VAR COMPENSATOR AT REACTIVE POWER COMPENSATION

Voltage Stability Improvement using Static Var Compensator in Power Systems

This paper investigates the effects of Static Var Compensator (SVC) on voltage stability of a power system. The functional structure for SVC built with a Thyristor Controlled Reactor (TCR) and its model are described. The model is based on representing the controller as variable impedance that changes with the firing angle of the TCR. A Power System Computer Aided Design /Electromagnetic Transi...

Aspects concerning the Static Var Compensator

The paper presents some considerations regarding the structure and behaviour of the static var compensator (SVC). Thus, starting from a structure of the compensator it determinates the fundamental impedance of the SVC and it analyses the dependence of the impedance v.s. the components elements (C, R, Lc). Also, it has been realised and the analyses regarding the overvoltages which can appears o...

Design of Microcontroller Based Static VAR Compensator

The change in system voltage and frequency with changing load creates problem in power system stability. For the sake of system stability and reliability, the reactive power compensation is essential for flexible AC transmission system (FACTS). The variation of reactive power causes impact on the generating units, lines, circuit breakers, transformers, relays and isolators. However the reactive...

Static Var Compensator ( SVC ) for Offshore Applications

Power System Damping Using Hierarchical Fuzzy Multi- Input Power System Stabilizer and Static VAR Compensator

This paper proposes the application of a hierarchical fuzzy system (HFS) based on multi-input power system stabilizer (MPSS) and also Static Var Compensator (SVC) in multi-machine environment.The number of rules grows exponentially with the number of variables in a conventional fuzzy logic system. The proposed HFS method is developed to solve this problem. To reduce the number of rules the HFS ...
