Thyristor Binary Compensator Strategy for Reactive Power Compensation and PF Improvement using Static VAR Compensator

Abstract

the electrical field has to go through many problems related to power quality. It is of the extreme importance to enhance the power quality as well as power factor with minimization of harmonics and losses. In this paper, the control strategy i.e. thyristor binary compensation along with SVC is used consisting of capacitor banks in binary sequence for reactive power compensation and power factor improvement. This technique stabilizes the system as well as it approaches the power factor closer to unity.
