Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM) is an advanced technology used in the field of power electronics and power systems. It is a device that can inject or absorb reactive power into the system to regulate voltage and improve power quality.

STATCOM (Static Synchronous Compensator) is a device used in power systems to regulate voltage and improve power quality. It is a reactive power compensation device that can absorb or inject reactive power into the system to maintain a stable voltage level.

Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM) is an advanced technology used in the field of power electronics and power systems. It is a device that can inject or absorb reactive power into the system to regulate voltage and improve power quality.

SVC and STATCOM are two types of power electronics devices used for reactive power compensation in power systems. While both devices serve a similar purpose, there are significant differences between them in terms of their operation, control, and application.

In our power supply and distribution system, reactive power is very important for the safe and effective operation of power supply and distribution system and load. What we usually call Reactive power compensator is to provide reactive power to the system where reactive power is needed. Reactive power compensator is essential in the system. Its main function is to improve the power factor of power supply and distribution system, improve power efficiency and reduce power cost; In addition, in long-distance transmission lines, adding dynamic Reactive power compensator devices at appropriate locations can also improve the stability of the transmission system, improve the transmission capacity and stabilize the voltage at the receiving end and the power grid. So how should we choose Reactive power compensator device? Is it better to be dynamic or static?

Static synchronous compensator (STATCOM or SVG) is a kind of dynamic reactive power compensation equipment based on voltage source converter (VSC). It is a typical representative of the second generation facts device. This article will briefly introduce the classification of Static synchronous compe
