Electricity transmission network operators are being tasked with adding more renewable energy resources to the power grid. The use of static VAR compensators (SVCs) is growing as a means to control ...

VARs (volt-amps reactive) are a measure of reactive power, the amount of power that an inductive generator, such as a wind turbine, consumes from the grid. When too much reactive power is consumed it ...

Robust control of reactive power and voltage is crucial for the stable and efficient operation of wind farms, particularly as renewable penetration increases worldwide. Contemporary strategies ...

Today's emphasis on implementing energy-efficiency programs and limiting peak demand growth is driving renewed interest in an effective method of implementing volt/var control on distribution systems: ...

Making the power grid more flexible, resilient, and efficient is the single most important objective for electric utilities today. A number of voltage-adjustment and reactive power correction ...

The voltage/var problems associated with serving urban areas that import large shares of power during peak load hours have slowly been gaining recognition by the international electric power community ...

The networks that transmit and distribute electrical energy are continually facing new demands due to changes in power generation and load structure. For example, in many regions power grids are ...
