Abstract

The question of voltage quality is rapidly increasing. New technologies are introduced and we are facing many new power quality requirements. Flexible alternating current transmission systems (FACTS) are modern devices in power transmission and grid stability. The paper deals with the modelling of a static var compensator (SVC). For this purpose Matlab/Simulink was used. SVC is designed for the implementation in a three-phase 22 kV power line model. Several simulations and tests have been performed in order to examine the function of the proposed control algorithm and SVC system as a whole.
