Abstract

A static VAr compensator (SVC) was installed at the Eddy County substation near Artesia, New Mexico. It was put into commercial operation in April 1992. Before the commissioning period, a phase of extensive testing and analysis of the digital closed loop control was undertaken. This work was done using the actual control hardware and software in conjunction with an analog TNA and with digital simulation models of control and power systems. Results of this work were checked with the power system during field commissioning of the SVC. This paper gives an overview of the closed loop control design. It presents some results from the TNA tests, digital simulation and commissioning field tests of the SVC operation
