Abstract

This paper presents a study on the operational performance of the Advanced Static Var Compensator (ASVC) in different situations of the supply network, observing mainly the time response of the control loop in situations of momentary and balanced voltage sags and swells. It also verifies the operation of the ASVC in the regulation of the voltage magnitude in the AC bus. For this, it will be performed certain simulations of an electrical system using the software ATPDraw and it will be also presented all the theory involved in the modeling of the compensator in question.
