Static VAr Compensation with a voltage source converter
abstract
Electrical utilities and heavy industries face a number of challenges related to reactive power. Heavy industrial applications can cause phenomena like voltage unbalance, distortion or flicker on the electrical grid. Electrical utilities may be confronted with phenomena of voltage sags, poor power factor or even voltage instability. Reactive power control can resolve these issues.
