The optimisation of distributed generation and static compensators addresses the increasingly complex task of balancing active and reactive power in modern distribution grids. By strategically ...

Electricity transmission network operators are being tasked with adding more renewable energy resources to the power grid. The use of static VAR compensators (SVCs) is growing as a means to control ...

Mitsubishi Electric Corp. has announced its development of the SVC-Diamond static synchronous compensator (STATCOM), a voltage source converter (VSC) shunt reactive power compensator with a modular ...

Australian scientists have identified seven methods to prevent PV losses when overvoltage-induced inverter disconnections occur. The methods include battery storage, reactive power inverters, export ...

Ameren Transmission Co. LLC has energized the first two of four innovative upgrades to ensure its grid remains stable during the utility’s transition to clean energy sources. Known as static ...

Voltage stability denotes the ability of an electrical power system to maintain acceptable voltage levels under normal conditions and after being subjected to disturbances. It encompasses static, ...

Italian transmission system operator (TSO) Terna S.p.A. has ordered two static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) systems for grid stabilization from Siemens Energy. It is Siemens Energy’s first ...

Gujarat Energy Transmission Corporation (GETCO) became the first state utility in India to install a STATCOM system. The 'smart voltage stabiliser' at the Timbdi substation ensures grid stability and ...
