For stabilization and improving power factor in the power lines, various Static Var Compensators(SVC) have been considered to be installed and partly applicated already. With all these merits of the SVC, it stil has demerits, principally evoking harmonic problems. So far, many harmonic reduction type inverters have been used in various parts. In this paper, the reactive power is controlled by amplitude of the output voltage. This paper propose that the multiple voltage source inverter have controllable power factor made by load vary at receive-stage as lagging and leakage control. The theoretical analysis on this system was confirmed through the computer simulation and the experiments.

Recently Advanced Static Var Compensators(ASVC) or STATic Synchronous COMpesator(STATCOM) has been considered as a next generation reactive power controller. [2] STATCOM is a voltage source inverter(VSI) based static VAr compensator with only small capacitors on the do side. The main function of the STATCOM is to keep the bus voltage magnitude at the desired value. [1] This paper compares the PAM STATCOM with PWM STATCOM. The characteristics and the control method of each model is analyzed. And the simulation of STATCOMs based on the above two methods was presented.

전력의 흐름을 제어하기 위하여 유연 송전 시스템(Flexible AC Transmission System, FACTS)이 전력 계통에 다수 설치되었고, 앞으로도 설치되는 FACTS 기기의 수가 늘어날 예정이다. 특히, 전력수요가 많은 수도권에는 안정도와 안전도를 확보하기 위해 FACTS 중 하나인 정지형 무효 전력 보상기(Static Var Compensator, SVC)의 설치가 필요하다. 하지만 SVC가 수도권에 다수 설치되면 SVC 기기 간에 상호 간섭 가능성이 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 SVC 기기 간의 상호간섭 가능성을 제시하고 Kundur 모델의 PSS/e 시뮬레이션을 통해 SVC 기기 간의 상호 간섭이 발생할 수 있음을 확인하고자 한다.

This paper provides the methods for enhancing the stability with normal or emergency operating conditions in real power systems and copes with the unbalance of demand of reactive power due to the loss of facility, such as 765kV transmission line. In this paper, we focused on the maximum allowable transmission power(hereafter, MAXTP) in the metropolitan area. In order to increase the MAXTP, the application of reactive power compensators, SVC, and Shunt compensator and reactor, is analyzed as an enhancing method of stability and MAXTP. Particularly, the f-V analysis was performed for the postulated contingency, in order to evaluate the effects on SVC. Conclusively, the stability of power systems could be enhanced and the MAXTP is increased effectively with Dongseoul SVC which has the capacity 200MVAr.

The Static var compensators(SVC) are intensively studied to realize high performance power equipment for electric power systems. Rapid and continuous reactive compensation by the SVC contributes to voltage stabilization, power oscillation damping, overvoltage suppression, minimization of transmission losses and so on. In this paper, instantaneous power vector theory which can expresses the instantaneous apparent power vector is proposed to control reactive power. The validity of the proposed method is confirmed by simulation studies.

In this paper, a new continuously and linearly controlled capacitive static VAR compensator is proposed for the automatic power factor correction of inductive single phase loads in 220V 50Hz power system networks. The compensator is constructed of a harmonic-suppressed TCR equipped with a new adaptive current controller. The harmonic-suppressed TCR is a new configuration that includes a thyristor controlled reactor (TCR) shunted by a passive third harmonic filter. In addition, the parallel configuration is connected to an AC source via a series first harmonic filter. The harmonic-suppressed TCR is designed so that negligible harmonic current components are injected into the AC source. The compensator is equipped with a new adaptive closed loop current controller, which responds linearly to reactive current demands. The no load operating losses of this compensator are negligible when compared to its capacitive reactive current rating. The proposed system is validated on PSpice which is very close in terms of performance to real hardware.

To improve the voltage profile of the load bus, it is important that the coordinated controls among the reactive power compensators at the distribution substation. However, the conventional control scheme of the Under Load Tap Changer (ULTC) is not proper for coordinate control with Static Var Compensator (SVC). This paper proposes a new control model for ULTC and a new coordinated control scheme between ULTC and SVC. The numerical simulation verifies that the proposed system could improve the voltage profile on the load bus and could decrease the number of ULTC tap operation.

FACTS devices, such as the Thyristor Controlled Series Compensator (TCSC) and Static Var Compensators (SVC), can help increase system load margin to improve static voltage stability. In power systems, because of the high cost and the effect value, the optimal placement for FACTS devices must be determined. This paper investigates the use of the series device (SVC) and the parallel device (TCSC) from the point of load margin to increase voltage stability. It considers the sensitivity of load margin to the line reactance and eigenvector of the collapse. The study has been carried out on the IEEE 14 Bus Test System to verify the validity and efficiency of the method. It reveals that incorporation of FACTS devices significantly enhance load margin as well as system stability.

Line-Current harmonics resulting from ac to dc power conversion interfere with power system operation and reduce power factor, hence resulting in increasing power source unnecessarily. This study describes a 3 phase phase-controlled converter eliminating low frequency harmonics in the output by inserting notches. Notch points are calculated by Newton-raphson method, The impacts of the choppings on ac and dc sides are analyzed in the steady state. Potential applications of the study are dc motor controls, high power dc power supplies for telecommunications, static var compensators and HVDC.
