Abstract

This paper is an overview of the different technologies used in reactive power compensation. Generally, the compensation of reactive power is due to two reasons. The first is to compensate for load and secondly for voltage support. To improve voltage regulation, stability in transmission, and distribution system, and also to improve power factor, Var compensator and Var generators are used. Many types of self-commuted generators and various new technologies with lots of advantages are described. In the development and application of controllable static Var, compensator progress has been made in the last few years.

Keywords: DVR (dynamic voltage restorer), reactive power compensation, STATCOM (static synchronous condenser or compensator), SSSC (static synchronous series compensator), tap changing transformer UPFC (unified power flow controller)
