Static VAR generator OPTIM SVGm

The Hybrid var compensators OPTIM SVGm range consist of a combination of a static reactive power generator, SVGm, and a set of steps of rejection filters tuned to 189 Hz (p = 7%), operated by a contact and controlled by a Computer SMART III power factor regulator. The use of both technologies in a single compensation unit yields accurate reactive power compensation, with a high capacity to react to power changes that require compensation that represent a percentage of the device's total power, while providing a high cost to effectiveness ratio, all in a smaller size than the model consisting solely of regulated capacitor steps. Similarly, the use of a SVGm as a supplement to the contactor-operated steps also provides capacitive power compensation, which is increasingly in demand, and it reduces problems related to the compensation of reactive power in installations containing a self-supply photovoltaic system. The Hybrid var compensators OPTIM SVGm range are suitable for reactive power compensation in any installation where the use of rejection filters is required due to the presence of harmonics in the network, but especially in those where, due to the compensation requirements, using a conventional capacitor bank based on steps operated by contactors does not guarantee proper power factor correction that rules out the possibility of being penalized for excess reactive power consumption. Installations where part of the total power of the compensation device has to respond quickly.
