WGI9 - Modern Protection System for Static Var Compensators

Description: The control and protection system plays an essential role in the overall performance of Static Var Compensator (SVC) applications to enhance the reliability of transmission systems.  SVC systems are custom designed according to one of several topologies intended for specific applications. An extensive protection system is ultimately intended to make use of the maximum operational limits of the equipment. Modern protection systems are increasingly fully integrated with the development of communication protocol and multifunctional IEDs. The Working Group shall investigate design and recommend modern practices for transmission Static Var Compensator (SVC) protection to enhance reliable operation of SVCs.
