Abstract

SVG reactive power compensation device, fully known as Static Var Generator, is a dynamic reactive power compensation equipment used in power systems. It is mainly used to improve power quality, especially in enhancing the power factor of the power supply system, suppressing voltage fluctuations and flicker, and balancing three-phase systems.

SVG reactive power compensation device, fully known as Static Var Generator, is a dynamic reactive power compensation equipment used in power systems. It mainly improves power quality, especially in enhancing the power factor of the supply system, suppressing voltage fluctuations and flicker, and balancing three-phase systems.

The working principle of SVG is based on Voltage Source Inverter (VSI). By adjusting the amplitude and phase of the voltage output from the inverter, it can quickly switch between inductive and capacitive reactive power, achieving precise control of reactive power in the grid. Compared to traditional reactive power compensation devices like SVC (Static Var Compensator), SVG has advantages such as fast response speed, low harmonic content, and small size.

The basic principle of SVG reactive power compensation device is as follows:

Circuit structure: The core of SVG is a self-commutated bridge circuit composed of switchable high-power power electronic devices (usually IGBT, Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor). These IGBTs are configured in the form of an inverter to generate AC voltage that is in phase with the grid.

Connection method: SVG is connected to the grid through a coupling reactor or directly in parallel. The coupling reactor helps filter out high-order harmonics generated by SVG and provides a certain degree of isolation.

Control strategy: By appropriately adjusting the amplitude and phase of the output voltage on the AC side of the bridge circuit or directly controlling the AC side current, SVG can absorb or emit the required reactive current. This control can be achieved through a closed-loop control system, typically using PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) technology to precisely control the switching moments of the IGBTs.

Dynamic compensation: SVG can quickly respond to the actual needs of the grid and provide the required reactive power. This means it can track load changes in real-time and compensate for surge currents from impulsive loads while also tracking harmonic current compensation.

Bidirectional adjustment: SVG can provide both inductive reactive power (i.e., absorb capacitive reactive power) and capacitive reactive power (i.e., absorb inductive reactive power). This bidirectional adjustment capability makes SVG very suitable for various complex load conditions.

Other functions: In addition to reactive power compensation, SVG can also help reduce voltage fluctuations and flicker, address three-phase imbalance issues, and improve the overall power factor of the system.
The advantages of SVG include fast response speed, low harmonic content, small size, light weight, and ease of maintenance. Compared to traditional reactive power compensation devices (such as parallel capacitor banks or synchronous condensers), SVG offers a more flexible and efficient solution.

SVG reactive power compensation devices are mainly applied in the following areas:

Power system stability: Helps maintain stable grid voltage and reduce voltage fluctuations.
Improving power factor: Reduces line losses and enhances transmission efficiency.
Load balancing: Under unbalanced load conditions, it can provide the necessary reactive current to achieve three-phase balance.
Voltage support: Provides necessary voltage support during faults, aiding in quick system recovery.
The development of SVG technology enables more efficient operation of power systems, and with advancements in power electronics technology, the application range of SVG is continuously expanding.
