What is an SVG?

A Static VAR Generator (SVG) is an IGBT-based power electronic device that provides instant reactive power compensation to maintain voltage stability and improve power factor.

When system voltage drops, the SVG injects capacitive VARs. When voltage rises, it absorbs inductive VARs, ensuring stable system operation.

How Does an SVG Work?

SVG uses a Voltage Source Converter (VSC) to continuously control reactive power flow. Unlike conventional capacitor banks, it provides smooth and dynamic compensation with response times in milliseconds.
