Abstract
The voltage variation in the remote system is large when the system is connected by long distance AC cables due to the cable capacitance. In Japan, the longest 54km 66kV AC submarine cable interconnection between Kyushyu mainland and Goto-islands was commissioned in 2005. It is requested to mitigate the voltage variation caused by switching off and on of one circuit of AC cables out of two circuits when a fault occurs. Since the conventional voltage control methods such as transformer tap changer or shunt capacitor and reactor banks are not sufficient because of their slow response time, therefore an SVC (Static Var Compensator) was installed in Goto-islands. In such application, SVC control method should be developed not to override the existing voltage control systems. This paper describes the SVC control method developed for Goto-islands AC interconnection project, which can be applied to similar applications. The effectiveness of the control method was verified by effective-value-based simulation results and field test results of which implemented before SVC commissioning in 2007.
