Power Quality
Static VAR Generators & Advanced SVG
Power-electronic equipment for rapid and continuously controlled reactive-power compensation within an assessed electrical system.
Request Technical Review
When this solution is considered
- Reactive-power demand changes too quickly or finely for a conventional stepped correction approach.
- The load profile includes light-load, leading or rapidly changing operating conditions that need dynamic control.
- A power-quality review identifies a requirement for electronic reactive-power compensation.
What we need to understand
The useful starting point is the actual electrical system and operating requirement—not a generic rating request.
- 01
Time-based reactive-power, power-factor and demand measurements across representative operations.
- 02
Single-line diagram, system voltage and proposed connection point.
- 03
Load inventory, switching patterns and known regenerative or leading-load behavior.
- 04
Existing APFC, harmonic-filter and capacitor equipment details.
- 05
Installation space, ventilation, environmental and communication requirements.
Configuration considerations
- Dynamic compensation capacity follows the measured reactive-power range and operating transitions.
- Current sensing, connection point and coordination with existing correction equipment are engineering decisions.
- Protection, cooling, enclosure, monitoring and communication are defined in the project scope.
Typical applications
These examples indicate where the solution may be considered; they do not represent completed Arnav projects.
- Rapidly changing industrial loads where reactive-power demand varies within short operating cycles.
- Facilities with mixed load conditions that may move between lagging and leading behavior.
- Projects where measured data supports a continuously controlled compensation approach.
Frequently asked questions
How does an SVG differ from a conventional APFC panel?
An SVG uses power electronics for continuously controlled compensation, while a conventional APFC arrangement switches configured capacitor steps. Suitability depends on measured load behavior and project needs.
What data supports SVG capacity selection?
Representative time-based reactive-power and power-factor measurements, operating-state information, the single-line diagram and details of existing correction equipment support selection.
Can SVG and existing capacitor equipment operate together?
A coordinated arrangement may be possible, but sensing, control interaction, connection points, harmonic conditions and the role of each system must be engineered explicitly.
