Abstract
The author describes SVC Light, where VSC (voltage source converter) and IGBT (insulated gate bipolar transistor) technologies have been brought together to offer possibilities hitherto unseen for power quality improvement in industry and power distribution. The paper highlights the SVC Light technology and focuses on a couple of important applications: mitigation of arc furnace flicker; and dynamic voltage control of wind powered grids
