Resonant Conditions in a Node with an SVC Compensator
Journal Title: Acta Energetica - Year 2016, Vol 28, Issue 3
Abstract
The primary purpose of installing static shunt compensators in power grids is to improve the voltage conditions. Additional reactive power sources increase the system’s voltage stability and enable faster system recovery after a voltage failure. This paper presents the impact of an SVC device’s structure and settings on impedance change in the supply system, and hence on the frequencies at which resonance phenomena can develop.
