 SVC - Static VAr Compensation Systems

Static VAr Compensation (SVC) System is one kind of compensation systems consisting of static, or
semi-conductor, switching elements. The first technologies that come to mind when SVC is
considered are Thyristor Controlled Reactor (TCR) and Thyristor Switched Capacitor (TSC)
systems.
SVC systems are being used for voltage regulation, current/voltage harmonics filtering, power factor
improvement, load balancing and flicker compensation issues in such systems where reactive power
demand is varying very fast, and loads are unbalanced and rich in harmonics . Hence, SVC systems
are commonly preferred in industries having arc, ladle and induction furnaces, rolling mills,
hoist/cranes and welding machines. SVC systems are also used in transmission and distribution
systems for reactive power compensation, voltage regulation and improvement of system stability.

PRİMARY BENEFİTS
 Reduction in active energy losses as a fact of improving reactive power flow and filtering
harmonics
 Improvement in system stability with load balancing and flicker compensation
 Better utilization of the capacity in transmission and distribution systems
 Increasing the quality of supply
 Reduction of unit-costs in iron and steel industry
 In result, increase in energy efficiency

 PROCESS STEPS

 There are one fixed load group and one variable load group in our system.
 And we want the power factor to remain constant when a load group is added to the
system.
 Therefore, we are designing a control circuit to keep the power factor constant.
 Initially , we first plotted the svc circuit given to us.
 After this, we calculated the required values and wrote them.
 Then, we made a control circuit using the elements like comparator, logic gate, voltage
sensor, thyristor, rms block, PI controller etc.

 First of all, we generated the Vrms signal needed to send to PI block.
 So, the effective value of the load voltage was divided by the constant of 13.8k.

 Then, we generated the Piout signal needed to keep the power factor constant.
 Therefore, the coefficients of PI circuit used are 0.2 and 0.001

 Then, we produce square wave signal.

 It is produced by comparing the square wave signal voltage source with the comparator
 The profit value of the proportional block used was 12 .
