Electricity transmission network operators are being tasked with adding more renewable energy resources to the power grid. The use of static VAR compensators (SVCs) is growing as a means to control ...

Siemens has received an order worth approximately €78 million to deliver Statcom reactive power compensation systems in the SVC Plus series for the Power Grid Corporation of India (PGCIL). The ...

The static var compensator’s low-voltage bus work and equipment carries high current and should be checked periodically for connection heating. For anyone involved in the planning and management of ...

Australian scientists have identified seven methods to prevent PV losses when overvoltage-induced inverter disconnections occur. The methods include battery storage, reactive power inverters, export ...

According to a Norwegian group of researchers, the reactive power capability of three-phase voltage source inverters can help to reduce problems caused by the intermittent nature of solar power on ...

The static VAR compensators provide reactive power. Unfortunately, this is only a partial solution since the plant must switch these devices on and off, in stages, in order to regulate the voltage to ...
