Electricity transmission network operators are being tasked with adding more renewable energy resources to the power grid. The use of static VAR compensators (SVCs) is growing as a means to control ...

Australian scientists have identified seven methods to prevent PV losses when overvoltage-induced inverter disconnections occur. The methods include battery storage, reactive power inverters, export ...

US researchers have proposed the use of solar inverters in utility-scale solar assets to replace expensive voltage compensators, in order to provide voltage support at night. They said reactive power ...

German transmission system operator Amprion has commissioned Siemens Energy with the construction of two SVC PLUS series static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) systems to further stabilize the ...

National Grid in the United Kingdom has energized its Dynamic Reactive Compensator (DRC) project, which represents the largest utility-grade static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) scheme in Europe, ...

Engr. Adekunle Awoniyi, a seasoned power system engineer, brings a wealth of experience from his tenure at the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN), where he worked on various projects to improve the ...
