Abstract : A Static Var Compensator (SVC) is a vital component in modern electrical power systems for regulating reactive power, maintaining voltage stability, and improving power quality. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the performance and effectiveness of SVCs in real-time reactive power compensation and voltage control, particularly in large transmission networks. By providing fast and dynamic reactive power support, SVCs help optimize power flow and reduce transmission losses, contributing to a more stable and efficient power grid. The novelty of this research lies in the use of an advanced segmented thyristor-controlled reactor (TCR) integrated with fixed capacitor (FC) systems, which allows for modular and highly adaptable reactive power compensation. This configuration improves the precision of voltage regulation, reduces harmonic distortion, and enhances the response time of the system, compared to conventional SVC setups. Additionally, this study explores the application of SVCs in power grids with high penetration of renewable energy sources, highlighting their role in managing voltage fluctuations caused by variable generation. The findings of the study demonstrate that SVCs significantly improve voltage stability and power factor correction, particularly in regions with heavy inductive loads or fluctuating renewable energy inputs. The implementation of SVCs in large transmission networks leads to a measurable reduction in power losses and increases grid resilience. Overall, the research confirms that SVCs are an indispensable tool for enhancing the reliability and efficiency of modern power systems, especially in the face of growing demand and renewable energy integration.
