- 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
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.

SVG vs Smart Capacitor vs Traditional Capacitor Reactor
| Comparison Dimension | Low Voltage Static Var Generator (SVG) | Intelligent Capacitor | Traditional Capacitor-Reactor Compensation Bank |
|---|---|---|---|
| Core Technical Principle | Active compensation, based on IGBT + PWM voltage-source converter; actively generates/absorbs reactive power through power electronic devices | Passive compensation, centered on self-healing capacitors, with thyristor/magnetic latching relay for intelligent switching; essentially still capacitor-type compensation | Passive compensation, with contactors/fuses controlling grouped switching of capacitors and reactors; purely mechanical switch control |
| Reactive Power Regulation Mode | Stepless continuous smooth regulation, bidirectional output of capacitive/inductive reactive power, regulation range covers -100% ~ +100% rated capacity | Stepped regulation with fixed gears (e.g. 10/20/30kvar), only outputs capacitive reactive power | Large-step stepped regulation with few gears and large step size; only outputs capacitive reactive power, no inductive reactive power regulation |
| Response Speed | Extremely fast, total response time < 10ms, real-time tracking of load fluctuations | Medium, response time 20~100ms, limited by thyristor switching action | Slow, response time at the second level, limited by contactor mechanical action life and closing/opening time |
| Harmonic Mitigation Capability | Equipped with active filtering function; can allocate partial capacity to suppress system harmonics while compensating reactive power, and avoid harmonic amplification | Only suppresses transient harmonics generated by its own switching; cannot mitigate existing system harmonics, no improvement on 3rd/5th/7th harmonics | No harmonic mitigation capability; if parameters are mismatched, it easily resonates with system impedance and amplifies harmonic distortion |
| Regulation Accuracy | Extremely high, stepless regulation, can precisely control power factor above 0.99 | Medium, limited by switching gears, with fixed regulation step length, average power factor control accuracy | Low, large-gear switching easily causes over-compensation/under-compensation, large fluctuation range of power factor |
| Volume & Footprint | High integration, smallest volume under the same compensation capacity, compact cabinet structure, wall-mounted/cabinet-installable | Small single-module volume, but total footprint larger than SVG when multiple units are combined for compensation | Large volume, separate capacitor cabinet and reactor cabinet required, largest footprint, high requirements for on-site installation space |
| Maintenance Difficulty & Service Life | Extremely low maintenance, no mechanical contacts, long service life of IGBT devices, only regular heat dissipation cleaning required | Medium maintenance, thyristor switches have a certain action life, regular inspection of capacitor attenuation and switch status required | Frequent 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 Cost | High | Medium | Low |
| Applicable Scenarios | Scenarios 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:
- 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.
- Intelligent capacitor is essentially an "intelligent capacitor switching device", which cannot replace SVG's active compensation and harmonic mitigation capabilities.
- Traditional capacitor-reactor solutions are currently only used in low-budget projects in developing countries.
