Static Var Generator (SVG / STATCOM)
A Static Var Generator (SVG), also known as a STATCOM (Static Synchronous Compensator), is a power electronic-based FACTS (Flexible AC Transmission System) device used for dynamic reactive power compensation, voltage regulation, power factor correction, and harmonic mitigation.
Unlike an SVC, which uses thyristor-controlled reactors and capacitor banks, an SVG uses a vo...
