Understanding SVC and SVG

Static VAR Compensator (SVC):
A dynamic device that uses thyristor-controlled capacitors and inductors to stabilize voltage and improve power factor. Ideal for medium-to-high voltage systems with large loads, harmonics, and rapid changes—like steel mills, railways, and metallurgy.

Static VAR Generator (SVG):
A modern solution using power electronics to generate precise reactive power. Smaller, faster, and more accurate than SVC, delivering superior power quality.

Both solutions excel in different applications—choosing the right one depends on system needs, cost, and environmental factors.
