Std 1031, IEEE Guide for the Functional Specification of Transmission Static Var Compensators
This guide documents an approach to preparing a specification for a transmission static var compensator. The document is intended to serve as a base specification with an informative annex provided to allow users to modify or develop specific clauses to meet a particular application.
 
Std 1303, IEEE Guide for Static Var Compensator Field Tests
General guidelines and criteria for the field testing of static var compensators (SVCs), before they are placed in-service, for the purpose of verifying their specified perforamance are described. The major elements of a commissioning program are identified so that the user can formulate a specific plan that is most suited for his or her own SVC.

Reliability Survey
WG I4 has maintained a list of industrial and utility SVC installations around the world, and is currently collecting information from SVC owners/users on the availability and reliability of existing SVC installations to quantify the number and causes for SVC outages. The intention of this survey is that it will act as information to owners and those specifying new installations, about the main causes of unavailability of SVCs.
