Static VAr Compensator (SVC)
A Static VAr Compensator (or SVC) is an electrical device for providing fast-acting reactive power on high-voltage electricity transmission networks. SVCs are part of the Flexible AC transmission system device family (FACTS), regulating voltage and stabilizing the system.
We provide a complete turnkey delivery of the project including civil works. Furthermore, we can also provide consultancy support for the assessment of the SVC specification.
Wind Farms
Due to increase of wind energy, the Transmission System Operators (TSO) put grid code requirements on the wind parks to ensure grid stability such as reactive power control and ride-through capability. A centrally placed SVC at the Point of Common Coupling (PCC) can be used to solve these issues in wind farms and have the following benefits:
- Voltage Stabilization
- Fault Ride Through (FRT)
- Reactive Power Balance
- Flicker Reduction
Inverter / Ondulator
OPERATING PRINCIPLES, DESIGN AND GENERAL FEATURES OF THE DEVICE
An inverter transforms direct current (DC) into alternating current (AC), in this case, at a constant frequency.
Input source (DC)
The DC input can come from solar panels, rectifiers – chargers, batteries, DC bars, etc. The voltage is usually variable because the power sources operate in highly volatile situations. For that reason, the Jemainverter is designed to accept a wide margin of variation in input voltage while maintaining the desired output parameters.
Transfer by-pass
The inverters work on-line and usually include a static transfer by-pass to an auxiliary support grid for emergencies and a manual by-pass for maintenance work.
Device design
The device has excellent dynamic behaviour with IGBT transistors. It’s controlled by a microprocessor that governs the unit in response to different keywords and signals it receives and informs the user of its status. If it includes a by-pass, it synchronises with the auxiliary grid. Control functions:

Static frequency converter
OPERATING PRINCIPLES, DESIGN AND GENERAL FEATURES OF THE DEVICE
Operating principle
Static frequency converters are used to feed loads that require AC power at a fixed frequency different from what is available from the grid. Using an intermediate DC transformation, the device can deliver that power under the required conditions.
Subsequently, one unit consists of 2 sub-subsystems:
- Rectifier: converts incoming AC voltage to DC
- Inverter: converts DC voltage to AC at the output at the required frequency
Batteries can optionally be added to the system so it can be autonomous in the event of a grid failure.

Rectifiers / Battery chargers
OPERATING PRINCIPLES, CHARGE LIMITS AND LEVELS AND GENERAL DEVICE FEATURES
Operating principles
A rectifier transforms alternating current (AC) into direct current (DC). Its normal function is charging batteries and keeping them in optimum conditions while, at the same time, providing DC power for other loads. Consequently, it’s essential that the unit takes into account what kind of batteries it’s feeding (Pb or NiCd) when operating.
It works automatically and continuously evaluates the status and temperature of the batteries and other system parameters in order to guarantee stable voltage and low ripple.
It can incorporate load disconnection manoeuvres for the end of autonomy, thermal-magnetic distribution, fault localisation, grid analysers, etc.
Battery charge limits and levels
With sealed Pb batteries, only two current levels are used (float and charge), while three are used for open Pb and NiCd batteries: float, fast charge and deep charge.
- Float: for maintaining the battery when already charged depending on the temperature.
- Fast charge: Done in the shortest time possible to restore capacity lost by the battery during discharge; at limited current and final voltage of stabilised charge.
- Deep charge or deformation: Periodic manual operation to equalise the battery elements; at limited current and final voltage of stabilised charge. Done in a vacuum.
Shift from float to fast charge and vice-versa:
- Automatically: when current above a specified value is suddenly absorbed, adjustable. And the opposite, after the absorbed current drops.
- Manually (optional): pushing a local / remote button.
General features of the device
- Complete, automatic wave rectifier
- High power factor at input, up to 0.9
- High output voltage stability, rippled up to 0.1% RMS
- High performance, simplicity and reliability
- Can be used in parallel with other units
