A major project is under construction to increase the capability of the 500 kV transmission system between Arizona and Southern California. This project includes two 388 Mvar SVC`s, which are needed primarily to stabilize power oscillations across the interface. The control system for these SVC`s includes some new concepts to accomplish this stabilizing influence. This paper describes the important features of this control system, including the main design considerations.
