    Comparison Between Statcom and SVC

    Uploaded by

    Kiran Kumar
    The STATCOM and SVC have similar compensation capabilities in their normal operating ranges, but the STATCOM functions as a shunt-connected synchronous voltage source using a converter while the SVC functions as a shunt-connected controlled reactive admittance. This basic operational difference gives the STATCOM superior functional characteristics, better performance, and greater flexibility compared to the SVC. The STATCOM can also maintain full capacitive output at low voltages, making it more effective than the SVC in improving first swing stability.

    Comparison Between Statcom and SVC It may be noted that in the normal linear operating range of the V-I

    characteristic and functional compensation capability of the STATCOM and the SVC are similar. However, the basic
    operating principles of the STATCOM, which, with a converter based var generator, functions as a shunt-connected
    synchronous voltage source, are basically different from those of the SVC, since SVC functions as a shunt-connected,
    controlled reactive admittance. This basic operational difference renders the STATCOM to have overall superior
    functional characteristics, better performance, and greater application flexibility as compared to SVC. The ability of the
    STATCOM to maintain full capacitive output current at low system voltage also makes it more effective than the SVC in
    improving the transient (first swing) stability.
