The combination of a Static VAR Generator (SVG) and Thyristor-Switched Capacitor (TSC) creates a high-performance hybrid reactive power compensation system. This setup leverages the fast dynamic response of the SVG with the cost-effective bulk compensation capability of TSC. How SVG + TSC Works SVG (Static VAR Generator) Uses a voltage-source converter (VSC) with IGBT...
From data centers in Frankfurt to EV charging stations in Southeast Asia, Active Harmonic Filters (AHFs) are rapidly becoming the gold standard for solving one of the most overlooked yet costly problems in industrial power systems—harmonics. Modern electrical loads such as variable frequency drives, inverters, and switching power supplies generate non-linear current waveforms, resulting in h...
Why Capacitors Are the Preferred Choice for Reactive Power Compensation When it comes to low-voltage reactive power compensation, the conversation usually narrows down to two options: capacitor banks and Static Var Generators. Ask around, and you’ll likely hear one common reason why capacitors remain popular:“They’re cheaper.” That’s true—but the real answer goe...
In Poland, reactive power management is governed by grid codes and regulations set by the Transmission System Operator (PSE - Polskie Sieci Elektroenergetyczne) and Distribution System Operators (DSOs). The policies aim to ensure grid stability, minimize losses, and maintain efficient power flow. 1. Reactive Power Requirements in Poland A. General Power Factor (PF) Standards St...
