SVC Systems
Bring enhanced efficiency to existing networks.
- stabilizing weak systems
- minimizing line losses
- increasing power transfer capability
- providing greater dynamic voltage control
The result: Existing grids become more highly efficient and capable of rapidly delivering better quality power to satisfy growing demands.
Experience benefits unavailable from any other North American manufacturer
American Superconductor is the only manufacturer of static VAR compensators in North America. By integrating AMSC SVCs, you’ll bring numerous bottom-line improvements to your network:
- Dynamic reactive power compensation
- Voltage regulation through state-of-the-art thyristor valves
- Steady-state and transient stability enhancement through thyristor controlled reactors, thyristor switched reactors and thyristor switched capacitors
- Increased power transfer capacity
- Three-phase voltage balancing
- Reduced transmission losses
- Flicker mitigation
- Oscillation damping
- Solid-state componentry for lower maintenance, higher reliability
- Smaller installation footprint than water-cooled devices
- Advanced, user-friendly digital control that directly interfaces with SCADA systems and can be controlled locally or remotely
