“…In 1990, SVCs were installed in the 345-kV power trans¬mission line of the Maine Electric Power Company at Chester, Canada to enhance the transmission capacity of the HVDC interconnections [45], [46]. Prior to the installation, an investigation into the possibility of undesirable vibration found that SSTI could occur in such a way that an SVC voltage regulator would reduce the damping of the torsional modes of the nearby turbine generators.…”

“…SVC is normally constituted by one thyristor controllable reactor (TCR) and a number of thyristor-switched capacitors (TSC) branches [123]. SVC can be found in applications such as power line compensation [124], compensation of railway feeding system [125], reducing disturbances from rolling mills [126] and arc furnace compensation [127] both for reactive power supply and flicker mitigation. A SVC installed together with an arc furnace not only reduces flicker, but also increases the steel production and its quality due to stabilized ac voltage [128].…”

SUMMARYThe increased use of power electronic controlled equipment, such as variable speed drives, automated production lines, personal computers and non-linear electronic devices in power systems has given rise to a type of voltage and current waveform distortion called as 'harmonics'. Harmonic can be defined as the undesirable components of a distorted periodic waveform whose frequencies are the integer multiples (non-integer multiples in case of inter-harmonics, and the frequency less than fundamental frequency in case of sub-harmonics) of the fundamental frequency. Presence of these harmonics results in increased losses, equipment heating and loss-of-life, and interference with protection, control and communication circuits as well as customer loads. The research has been underway since very beginning for control of power system harmonics and to supply consumers with reliable and 'clean' fundamental-frequency sinusoidal electric power that does not represent a damaging threat to their equipment. This paper, therefore, reviews the progress made in power system harmonics research and development since its inception. Attempts are also made to highlight the current and future issues involved in the development of quality and reliable electric power technology for future applications. A list of 145 research publications on the subject is also appended for a quick reference.

“…The Devers SVS control also features a reactive output or Q-Mode which has been modified to limit the steady-state output to predetermined levels [5,6]. This will maintain a "dynamic reserve" by resetting the voltage reference to allow other equipment to be switched in regulate the system voltage or make up var deficits.…”

This paper describes the planning, specification and design of the 500 kV Static Var System (SVS) installed on the Southern California Edison network at Devers Substation. The Devers SVS includes a static var compensator (SVC) a form of flexible alternating current transmission system (FACTS) technology and a controlled mechanically-switched shunt capacitor bank. The Devers SVS project is one of several planned projects to increase power imports into the Los Angeles basin from generation sources east of the Colorado River (EOR). A follow-up paper is planned which will present the construction and final commissioning of the Devers SVS at project completion expected in September 2006.
