Economical Approach for SVC Systems to Improve Power Quality using Fully Indigenous Technology

Abstract

The question of power quality issues are rapidly increasing and require new technologies to deal with these power quality issues in industries. Flexible alternating current transmission systems (FACTS) are modern devices in power system for maintaining power factor and stability. This paper deals with a modified switching and design of static var compensator (SVC). The proposed SVC model is designed which is economical, highly reliable, and uses fully indigenously developed technology. The design of SVC with harmonic filters has been discussed with a new switching concept.
