What is Static Var Generator?
Static Var Generator (SVG) is a new generation of power factor correction system that delivers an outstanding performance.
Why Choose Static Var Generator?
Static Var Generator (SVG) is the revolutionary new standard in reactive energy compensation. When the load is generating inductive or capacitive current, it makes the load current lag or leads the voltage. Installing a Power Factor Correction (PFC) system, such as Static Var Generator, is the most effective way to make long-term changes to your energy efficiency.
Reasons to Improve Power Factor
A low power factor means you are drawing more current than you need. The Australian Energy Regulator allows electricity retailers to penalise businesses for the extra demand on the electricity grid. If your most recent power bill has a charge for kVA, then your Power Factor is probably inflating your power bill. A poor Power Factor can be improved by installing Power Factor Correction (PFC) equipment to correct your energy supply inefficiencies, reduce the total current and apparent power (kVA) demand on the electricity network and bring the power factor close to 1 (unity).
Key Benefits of Quality Energy's Static Var Generator
Quality Energy’s Static Var Generator (SVG) is an entirely new approach to power factor correction. The application of full-controlled technology improves the user’s system and makes THDi <5%, PF level to 0.99, with a three-phase balance to achieve the perfect and efficient power system. Other benefits include:
Dynamic Reactive Power Compensation
Static Var Generator takes the high-power voltage inverter as the core. It can quickly absorb or emit the required reactive power by adjusting the amplitude and phase of the inverter output voltage or directly controlling the amplitude and phase of the AC side current.
Fast Response Time
Static Var Generator's response speed is no more than 5ms, which can better suppress voltage fluctuation and flicker. Static Var Generator has the best compensation effect on voltage fluctuation and flicker.
Excellent Low Voltage Characteristics
Static Var Generator has the characteristics of a current source, and the output capacity is little affected by the bus voltage. Static Var Generator can be regarded as a controllable and constant current source. When the system voltage is reduced, it can still output the rated reactive current and has a strong overload capacity.
Perfect Anti-Harmonic Characteristics
Static Var Generator uses three-level single-phase bridge technology, which can output a 5-level voltage waveform and adopts a carrier phase-shifted pulse modulation method. This method is less affected by system harmonics and can suppress system harmonics.
High operational Safety Performance
SVG-supporting capacitors do not need to be equipped with a filter bank, and there is
no resonance amplification phenomenon. Static Var Generator is an active compensation device that uses a current source device composed of a switch-off device IGBT, thereby avoiding resonance phenomenon and significantly improving operating safety performance.
Flexible Application
Under the same compensation capacity, the footprint of Static Var Generator is reduced by 1/2 to 2/3 of that of SVC. Therefore, the volume and floor space of the device is significantly reduced.
Is Static Var Generator applicable in all industries and sectors?
Static Var Generator is applicable in commercial and industrial settings that have high electricity demand, such as:
- Power distribution system
- Manufacturing
- Healthcare settings
- Oil and gas
- Paper mill
