Title: Static var compensators stabilize power voltages

Journal Article · · Electric Light and Power
OSTI ID:381138

This article discusses the operation of a static var compensator as installed by Alabama Power near a steel mill with a large arc furnace load. This is expected to result in a number of benefits, including flicker reduction, dynamic power factor correction, harmonics filtering and a reduction in system losses.
