Power electronics in electric utilities: static VAR compensators
Abstract
The author deals with dynamic VAR compensation of electric power systems, applying power electronics for reactive power generation and control. After an overview of the emergence and status of modern, solid-state VAR compensators in utility and industrial applications, it is shown how dynamic VAR compensation increased transmittable power by providing voltage support, transient stability improvement, and power oscillation damping in electric power transmission systems. Methods of reactive power generation and control using thyristor-controlled reactors, with fixed and thyristor-switched capacitors or modern gate-turn-off (GTO) power converters that can function without AC capacitors or reactors, are described. A summary is included of the control structure and operation to provide the desired characteristics and performance in power systems applications.>

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
