Applied Research of SVG to Control the Low Voltage in Rural Power Grids

Abstract

Recently, with the increasing strength of attracting business and investments in Liaoning coastal area or big cities’ suburbs (counties), a large number of industrial and mining enterprises have shifted to rural areas. The rural areas’ power load is growing rapidly, but at the same time, many power sites such as 66kv substation, 10kv transmission line, and low-voltage distribution area have occurred different levels of “low voltage”, which affect the daily life and production of native residents. From 2011, Liaoning Electric Power Co., Ltd. has applied the third generation of dynamic reactive power compensation technology—SVG to control the “low voltage” of rural network, which has fast speed and strong compensation. And as a consequence, there is good social and economic benefit.
