Abstract

A static VAr compensator (SVC) using an active filter has been developed that compensates reactive power, harmonic current, negative-phase current, and voltage fluctuations. The system configuration is described, and five types of control scheme for the filter, which are based on practical applications for various loads, and the performance characteristics for each type of control are analyzed. The active filter is shown by simulation to be more effective for suppressing arc-furnace flicker than the TCR (thyristor-controlled-reactor) SVC.<>
