1. Compensation using thyristor-based static devices (CSPR)

1.1 Statocompensator

An industrial network equipped with a static compensation system based on thyristors, commonly known as a reactive energy compensator (CER) or static reactive power compensator (CSPR), in English Static VAR Compensator (SVC), can be represented by the diagram in figure 1 . This simplified representation makes it possible to distinguish between all the disturbance loads, including the capacitor bank (harmonic filters) and the regulator, consisting of the absorber alone, and the thyristor-controlled reactance. The filters can be switched independently by their own circuit breaker. Their purpose is to supply reactive power and filter harmonic currents generated by the disturbance...

Standards and norms

In the words of the IEC, slightly modified for the occasion: "All normative documents are subject to revision, and the reader is invited to seek out the possibility of applying the most recent editions of the normative documents indicated below. IEC and ISO members hold the register of International Standards currently in force".
