An Innovative Transient Free Adaptive SVC for Reactive Power Compensation and PF Correction Using ARM Controller

A case study is carried out on 1 KV A, 50 Hz distribution transformers. An innovative transient free adaptive static V AR compensator is designed and developed. An ARM is used to carry out process development which helps in automatic reactive power compensation in addition to power factor correction. The static voltage compensation (SVC) needs to use capacitor bank in many series and parallel combination in addition to star and delta connections. These capacitors are considered as step increment rather than fractional increment due to availability of capacitors in the market.
