APPLICATIONS OF SVS

APPLICATIONS OF SVS:

1. A static var system provides fast,smooth and stepless variation of compensations

of reactive power injected in the line. Thus it ensure an accurate voltage control of

buses over a wide range of loads.

2. The static var systems are used to control the reactive power demand of large fluctuating

loads such as rolling mills, are frunances etc.

3. If a large load is switched off, the voltage at the loading end of the line increases

( Farranti effect).The static var system provides a fast change in the reactive power

compensation to regulate the voltage.

4. In HDVC converter station, the provision of the static var system mainly helps to

have fast control of reactive power flow. Thus voltage fluctuations are controlled

and the problem of instability is overcome.
