  • Product Introduction

Low Voltage Static Var Generator (SVG/ASVG) is an advanced power electric device for dynamic reactive power compensation and power quality improvement. As cutting-edge reactive power equipment replacing conventional capacitor-reactor systems, it can allocate partial capacity for harmonic suppression.Built as a voltage-source converter with IGBT and PWM technology, it converts capacitor DC voltage into grid-synchronized three-phase AC voltage. The Q Series SVG (30kvar~150kvar) is developed and produced by Jinneng Electric Power Technology (Hubei) Co., Ltd. Available in 30kvar, 50kvar, 75kvar, 100kvar and 150kvar, it is widely used for power quality improvement in 400V power supply systems.

 

Working Principle

 

The heart of a Low Voltage Static Var Generator is a voltage-source converter. It adopts fully-controlled power electronic switching devices (such as IGBTs) and PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) technology to invert the DC voltage supported by the DC-link capacitor into three-phase AC voltage synchronized with the grid.
 

Under ideal pure reactive power operating conditions:

  • When the system needs capacitive reactive power, the SVG outputs an AC voltage slightly higher than the grid voltage and generates a leading current, acting like an intelligent capacitor.
  • When the system needs inductive reactive power, the SVG outputs an AC voltage slightly lower than the grid voltage and generates a lagging current, acting like an intelligent reactor.
By precisely controlling the amplitude (and phase) of its output voltage, the SVG can instantaneously, continuously and smoothly generate or absorb reactive power.

SVG vs Smart Capacitor vs Traditional Capacitor Reactor

 

Comparison DimensionLow Voltage Static Var Generator (SVG)Intelligent CapacitorTraditional Capacitor-Reactor Compensation Bank
Core Technical PrincipleActive compensation, based on IGBT + PWM voltage-source converter; actively generates/absorbs reactive power through power electronic devicesPassive compensation, centered on self-healing capacitors, with thyristor/magnetic latching relay for intelligent switching; essentially still capacitor-type compensationPassive compensation, with contactors/fuses controlling grouped switching of capacitors and reactors; purely mechanical switch control
Reactive Power Regulation ModeStepless continuous smooth regulation, bidirectional output of capacitive/inductive reactive power, regulation range covers -100% ~ +100% rated capacityStepped regulation with fixed gears (e.g. 10/20/30kvar), only outputs capacitive reactive powerLarge-step stepped regulation with few gears and large step size; only outputs capacitive reactive power, no inductive reactive power regulation
Response SpeedExtremely fast, total response time < 10ms, real-time tracking of load fluctuationsMedium, response time 20~100ms, limited by thyristor switching actionSlow, response time at the second level, limited by contactor mechanical action life and closing/opening time
Harmonic Mitigation CapabilityEquipped with active filtering function; can allocate partial capacity to suppress system harmonics while compensating reactive power, and avoid harmonic amplificationOnly suppresses transient harmonics generated by its own switching; cannot mitigate existing system harmonics, no improvement on 3rd/5th/7th harmonicsNo harmonic mitigation capability; if parameters are mismatched, it easily resonates with system impedance and amplifies harmonic distortion
Regulation AccuracyExtremely high, stepless regulation, can precisely control power factor above 0.99Medium, limited by switching gears, with fixed regulation step length, average power factor control accuracyLow, large-gear switching easily causes over-compensation/under-compensation, large fluctuation range of power factor
Volume & FootprintHigh integration, smallest volume under the same compensation capacity, compact cabinet structure, wall-mounted/cabinet-installableSmall single-module volume, but total footprint larger than SVG when multiple units are combined for compensationLarge volume, separate capacitor cabinet and reactor cabinet required, largest footprint, high requirements for on-site installation space
Maintenance Difficulty & Service LifeExtremely low maintenance, no mechanical contacts, long service life of IGBT devices, only regular heat dissipation cleaning requiredMedium maintenance, thyristor switches have a certain action life, regular inspection of capacitor attenuation and switch status requiredFrequent maintenance, contactor mechanical contacts are easy to burn out, fuses are easy to blow, regular replacement of wearing parts required, short overall service life
Initial Procurement CostHighMediumLow
Applicable ScenariosScenarios with large load fluctuations, high harmonic content and strict power quality requirements: precision manufacturing, data centers, new energy charging piles, rail transit, medical buildings, etc.Scenarios with relatively stable load, low harmonic content and general requirements for reactive power compensation accuracy: ordinary workshops, commercial buildings, small factories, etc.Scenarios with long-term stable load, low power quality requirements and limited budget: old workshops, agricultural power distribution, non-civilian non-important buildings, etc.

Supplementary Selection Notes:

  1. If your customer scenario has impact loads, harmonic distortion, and frequent load fluctuations, SVG is the recommended solution that can solve both reactive power and harmonic problems.
  2. Intelligent capacitor is essentially an "intelligent capacitor switching device", which cannot replace SVG's active compensation and harmonic mitigation capabilities.
  3. Traditional capacitor-reactor solutions are currently only used in low-budget projects in developing countries.
