Abstract

The transient stability of a critical induction machine load group during momentary as well as continuing voltage sags can be enhanced by using a fast-response voltage regulator in the form of a static VAr compensator (SVC) or a thyristor controlled tap changer (CTC). A procedure is presented for determining the minimum SVC rating or CTC off-nominal turn ratio including control of the SVC admittances or CTC taps to meet dynamic and steady-state specifications. The limitations of their effectiveness to preserve operation continuity are also shown
