Development of a series static voltage compensator for high speed voltage control in power distribution lines

Abstract

It will be necessary to provide high speed continuous control in distribution lines in the future. So, we propose a series static voltage compensator (SVC), which is highly suitable for use in power distribution lines compared with parallel static VAr compensators. It controls voltage regulation to keep the allowed value at load center point. We manufactured and tested the SVC with capacity of 75 kVA by taking the corrective measures. We confirmed it has the expected performance. It is possible to obtain voltage precision within /spl plusmn/1%.
