A static var generator (SVG) using self-commutated inverters of 80MVA capacity was developed and successfully applied to an actual 154KV power system to stabilize the power system. The SVG consists of 48-pulse multiple inverters whereby GTO thyristors are applied. After installing it at a power system site, a field test was conducted to confirm the system stabilizing effect. The test results displayed the expected performance, and the SVG was proved to be an effective power system stabilizer. This paper describes the outline of the 80MVA SVG, technical features and the test results.
