Abstract

A detailed model of static VAr-compensators (SVCs) has been developed for digital simulation of electrical transients. The model is applicable to SVC configurations employing thyristor-switched capacitors (TSCs) and thyristor-controlled reactors (TCRs). A modeling technique based on EMTP data modularization is used to represent essential parts of the SVC main circuit and control system. To verify the model, an actual SVC is simulated with the EMTP and the results are compared with the TNA-type (transient network analyzer) simulator using actual SVC controls
