High-voltage Static VAR Compensator (SVC)
High-voltage Static VAR Compensator is a typical Flexible AC transmission device. When applied in power transmission systems, it increases transmission capacity, stabilizes system voltage, damps low frequency oscillations and suppresses sub synchronous oscillations. When used in industrial power distribution networks, such as electrified railways, metallurgical and other industrial users, SVC can lower voltage fluctuations, flickering, negative sequences and harmonics which are caused by nonlinear and impact loads, and in the meantime improve power quality, effectively enhance users’ production efficiency, increase load power factors, reduce reactive power flow and cut network losses.
