S&C PureWave DSTATCOM Distributed Static Compensator Offers Voltage Support For Transmission Systems
White Paper: S&C PureWave DSTATCOM Distributed Static Compensator
The Need for Voltage Support
Reactive power is essential to maintain and control
voltage in ac electrical systems. The ability to meet
the demand for rapid changes in reactive power
prevents instability, voltage sags, even voltage
collapse...and the resultant outages to generation
facilities, transmission and distribution equipment,
and connected loads of industrial, commercial, and
residential power users.
In the past two decades, load has been dropped in a number of instances because of delayed voltage recovery following a major transmission system disturbance. Conventional means for preventing such occurrences — shunt capacitors, reactors, and synchronous condensers — operate much too slowly. Newer technology, such as the S&C PureWave DSTATCOM® Distributed Static Compensator, offers a better solution to voltage stability problems.
