Voltage Improvement by Using Static VAR compensator (SVC)

Abstract

The expansion in the demand and loads growth on the stations led to problems in voltage stability and system parameters are pushed below their permissible limits. The purpose of this project is to compensate the reactive power to improve the voltage in the stations (Al-Markhiyyat, Azirqab, Mahdia, Omdurman, Pant, Al-Muqrin, Al-Shajarah). The static VAR compensator was used and installed in the Mahdia substation to achieve the goal of the study and was performed in three cases followed, Normal operation case, the case of increasing the load to 30%, and the case of loss of generation in the Bant substation. The study which found that after the installing SVC, the voltage has improved in all the substations, and the best improvement was in Mahdia substation because SVC was installed in Mahdia substation.
