Static VAR Generator (SVG)

Overview

The Static VAR Generator (SVG) is a power electronic device that dynamically compensates reactive power in real time. Unlike traditional capacitor banks or passive filters, SVG provides instantaneous and bidirectional reactive power compensation, improving power factor and system stability across industrial and commercial installations.

Key Features

• Real-time Compensation: Millisecond response time to fluctuating reactive power demands.

• High Power Factor Accuracy: Maintains target PF close to unity (0.99 lag/lead).

• Compact and Modular: Scalable design suitable for a wide range of load profiles.

• Four-quadrant Operation: Can supply and absorb both inductive and capacitive VARs.

• Low Maintenance: Solid-state construction with minimal moving parts.

Technical Benefits

• Reduction of PF penalties and energy losses

• Improved voltage profile and system reliability

• Enhanced equipment lifespan (motors, transformers)

• Dynamic compensation ideal for fluctuating loads such as cranes, lifts, presses

Applications

• Steel & Rolling Mills

• Automotive Manufacturing Plants

• Commercial Complexes & IT Parks

• Cement & Chemical Industries

• Renewable Energy Integration (Solar & Wind)
