Most of the industrial installations with loads require
compensations to be able to correct or balance these existent
fluctuations and uses Static Var Compensators. As was mentioned
in 1.1 one of the systems, which allows to compensate the power,
is between the use of Static Var Compensators. These are being
used increasingly due to the technical advantages, which they
offer between transmission systems. Advantages such as: [Ref.12,
pp.2] - Compensation for the change in reactive power produced
by a change in the transmitted power. - In the event of line
switching caused by faults or changing network configuration,
there is compensation for a change in reactive power. -
Reduction and limitation of power frequency over voltages
produced by the load. - Improvement of the system in a long
distance transmission. Figure 1.4 shows a simple schematic of a
Static Var Compensators. It is comprised of the following
features: - Thyristor Controlled Reactor (TCR) - Thyristor
Switched Capacitor (TSC) - Capacitors Bank The
