SVG High Voltage Static Var Generator
Category:
The fundamental principle of the KS series high‑voltage static var generators from Konstanz is to connect a self‑commutated bridge circuit in parallel with the power grid via an reactor. By appropriately adjusting the phase and magnitude of the AC‑side output voltage of the bridge circuit, or by directly controlling its AC‑side current, the circuit can either absorb or inject the required reactive current, thereby achieving dynamic reactive power compensation.

Detailed introduction
Graphic details
The high-voltage static var generator (SVG) is a device specifically designed to provide dynamic reactive power compensation using self-commutated power semiconductor bridge converters. To date, the SVG represents the most advanced static reactive power compensation equipment in the world.
The fundamental principle of the KS series high-voltage static var generators is to connect a self-commutated bridge circuit in parallel with the power grid via an reactor. By appropriately adjusting the phase and magnitude of the AC-side output voltage of the bridge circuit, or by directly controlling its AC-side current, the circuit can absorb or inject reactive current to meet specified requirements, thereby achieving dynamic reactive power compensation.

The KS series high-voltage HSVG represents the latest technology in the field of reactive power compensation. Connected in parallel with the power grid, the KS‑HSVG functions as a variable reactive current source, rapidly tracking changes in the load’s reactive current and automatically compensating the system’s required reactive power. Its main functions are as follows:
● Enhance the stability of power transmission on the line
● Harmonic dynamic compensation to improve power quality
● Maintain the receiving-end voltage and enhance system voltage stability.
● Suppresses voltage fluctuations and flicker;
● Compensate the system’s reactive power and improve the power factor.
● Suppresses three-phase imbalance

KS Series High-Voltage HSVG
Four primary operating modes: constant reactive power at the device, constant power factor at the metering point, constant reactive power at the metering point, and constant voltage at the metering point.
Two layout options: indoor cabinet type and outdoor pad-mounted transformer type.
Two grid-connection modes: direct‑connection type at 6 kV, 10 kV, and 35 kV; step‑down type at 6 kV, 10 kV, 35 kV, and 66 kV.
The KS-HSVG is a compensation device based on a voltage-source converter, marking a qualitative leap in reactive power compensation. It no longer relies on large-capacity capacitors or inductors; instead, it achieves reactive power conversion through the high-frequency switching of high-power power electronic devices (IGBTs). Compared with conventional reactive power compensation equipment, the KS-HSVG exhibits the following characteristics:
● Faster response time, within 5 ms
● Diverse compensation functions, including reactive power compensation, harmonic compensation, negative-sequence compensation, and comprehensive compensation.
● Enhanced voltage flicker suppression capability, exceeding 80%
● Wider operating range, from -100% to +100% of rated capacity
● Extremely low harmonic content—virtually no harmonics—and also provides filtering.
● Small footprint, minimal on-site construction workload
The KS series chain‑type high‑voltage HSVG employs an in‑phase series connection of power units, with each unit adopting an H‑bridge topology, ensuring robust and reliable performance. When a power unit fails, it can be seamlessly bypassed via the host controller’s parameter settings, allowing the entire system to continue operating normally. This design significantly enhances the reliability, flexibility, and maintainability of the high‑voltage static var generator.
