Title :
Fully controlled reactor for static VAr compensation
Author_Institution :
Rand Afrikaans Univ., Johannesburg
Abstract :
A novel configuration of a static VAr compensator (of fundamental harmonic reactive power) is proposed. The compensator operation consists in control of coupled reactors by force commutated switches. Advantages of such a power converter are discussed and compared with traditional systems
