STATCOM | Static Synchronous Compensator
Introduction Static Synchronous Compensator was developed as an advanced static VAR compensator where a voltage source converter (VSC) is used instead of the controllable reactors and switched capacitors. Although VSCs…
Reactive Power Control | Requirement, Sources, and Transients
Introduction The converters in conventional HVDC power stations are line-commutated, which implies that the current initiation in the valve can only be delayed concerning the zero crossing of the converter…
