Mitsubishi Electric Corp. has announced its development of the SVC-Diamond static synchronous compensator (STATCOM), a voltage source converter (VSC) shunt reactive power compensator with a modular ...

Electricity transmission network operators are being tasked with adding more renewable energy resources to the power grid. The use of static VAR compensators (SVCs) is growing as a means to control ...

Australian scientists have identified seven methods to prevent PV losses when overvoltage-induced inverter disconnections occur. The methods include battery storage, reactive power inverters, export ...

In late June 2019, in Germany, Siemens celebrated the installation of its 100th STATCOM. STATCOM is an abbreviated form of the term ’static synchronous compensator‘ — devices designed to mitigate ...

Due to changing utility infrastructure with regards to conventional generation retirement and increased levels of renewables, dynamic shunt compensation solutions (i.e. SVC, STATCOM, synchronous ...
