1 Overview

1.1 Scope of application

With the rapid development of my country's national economy and scientific and technological level, power
quality has become the focus of common concern of power departments and power users. In particular, with the
widespread application of various electronic devices and precision equipment, users hope that power supply
companies can provide efficient and high-quality power. In the power system, asynchronous motors,
transformers, arc furnaces, and especially power electronic devices are widely used. In the industrial field, many
enterprises have huge daily power consumption, and the load is nonlinear and impactful, which has caused a
variety of power quality problems, mainly including low power factor, high harmonic content, three-phase
imbalance, power impact, voltage flicker and voltage fluctuation. In addition, more and more new energy
sources such as wind power generation and solar power generation are integrated into the power grid, which
also poses challenges to the stable operation of the power grid.
Static var generator (SVG), also known as dynamic reactive power compensation generator or static
synchronous compensator, refers to a device that uses a self-commutated power semiconductor bridge
converter to perform dynamic reactive power compensation. It can quickly absorb or generate the required
reactive power to achieve the purpose of rapid dynamic reactive power regulation.
Static var generator is a reactive power conversion device developed by our company for voltage levels of
3.3kV and above. It uses multiple power modules in series and has technical features such as high reliability,
friendly operation interface, perfect security system, simple maintenance, etc., which can effectively solve the

3 Function and principle

Static var generator is connected in parallel with the system. It detects the harmonic and reactive components
of the load in real time and uses PWM control technology to inject currents that are equal in magnitude and
opposite in direction to the harmonic and reactive components into the power supply and distribution system,
thereby filtering out harmonics and dynamically compensating for reactive power.
Static var generator can also be used as a harmonic generator to inject harmonic current into the circuit
according to the specified harmonic order and intensity.
As shown in Figure 3-1, static var generator application system schematic diagram, static var generator can
compensate for any reactive power and harmonic

current.

3.2 Chain structure main circuit

The chain-structured products of the static var generators are composed of multiple power modules
connected in series, and the high-voltage output is obtained by superimposing the outputs of multiple low-voltage
power modules.

Figure 3-3 Main circuit topology of static var generator

As shown in Figure 3-3, the main circuit mainly includes power module, reactor and charging circuit. By

7
controlling the power module, the output voltage of the power module can be adjusted, and then the current on the
reactor can be adjusted, so that the static var generator absorbs or emits reactive current that meets the
requirements, achieving the purpose of dynamic reactive power compensation.

3.3 Chain structure power module

Static var generator obtains a nearly sinusoidal high voltage waveform by superimposing the outputs of
multiple low voltage power modules. The module output waveform and the schematic diagram of the phase
voltage superposition waveform are shown in Figure 3-5. The power module is an improved and optimized
standard single-phase low voltage PWM (pulse width modulation) inverter.
The structure diagram of a typical power module is shown in Figure 3-4. The power module structures are
the same and interchangeable. Each power module is a single-phase output PWM voltage source inverter structure.
Each power module includes filter capacitors, absorption capacitors, IGBT inverter bridges, and module control
boards that realize control functions such as drive, protection, monitoring, and communication.
Each power module receives the modulation information sent by the main control system through optical
fiber communication to generate a single output waveform, and the status information of each power module
(including normal working status and fault information) is also fed back to the main control system through
optical fiber, and is uniformly controlled by the main control system.

Figure 3-3 Standard single-phase low-voltage PWM (pulse width modulation) inverter structure

All power modules receive instructions from the same main control unit controller. These instructions are
transmitted via optical fiber to ensure high voltage and low voltage isolation.

3.4 Control system

The control system of static var generator consists of a main control unit and peripheral electrical circuits.
The main control unit consists of a sampling module, an IO module, a main control module, a conversion module,
etc.
The sampling module samples the system voltage and current signals, conditions and filters the signals, and
then sends them to the main control module. The core components of the main control module are composed of
DSP+FPGA, which processes the signal analysis, performs PWM waveform control, triggers, blocks, and
bypasses IGBTs for each power module. The control system receives the user's control instructions and realizes

8
various switch signal logic processing. The control system also monitors the status of each component of the static
var generator (such as each power module, reactor, fan, etc.), provides fault diagnosis information, and realizes
fault alarm and protection.
In field applications, the control system can realize flexible interface with the field, provide the control
functions required by the field, facilitate changing the control mode, and meet the special requirements of the
user's field.
The control system includes the main control system and the electrical control system. Figure 3-6 is a
schematic diagram of the control system of the static var generator.
3.4.1 Main control system
The main control system adopts a chassis integrated design, including sampling module, IO module, main
control module, conversion module and power supply module.
The main control system mainly completes the switch input and output, analog input and output, the
generation of PWM control signals of each module of the power module, the encoding and decoding of the
control signal, so as to transmit and receive the control signal through the optical fiber. It also performs
self-diagnosis of the system, issues various execution instructions, integrates and handles various faults, and
communicates with external systems.
Data is transmitted between the main control module and the conversion module through a hardware socket.
The conversion module communicates and controls the control module on the power module through optical fiber,
transmits PWM signals to each power module, and returns the status information of each power module. The
optical fiber is the only connection between the power module and the main control system, so the main circuit of
the static var generator is completely electrically isolated from the main control system.

waveform of static var generator

9
 Figure 3-6 Schematic diagram of control system structure

3.4.2 Electrical control system

The electrical control system includes power supply part, logic control part and human-machine interface.
The human-machine interface adopts a touch LCD screen, which is connected to the logic control module to
mainly complete the setting of functional parameters, system status, operating status, fault display and recording,
etc., and it is easy to operate.
The user monitoring system can issue control commands through hard node signals, such as controlling the
operation, shutdown, and reset of reactive power generating device, and receiving the operation status and action
events of the static var generator device; it can also control the operation, shutdown, and reset of the device
through soft communication, and receive the operation status of the device, query the operation parameters of the
device, and receive the alarm and fault information of the device, etc. The device provides users with a standard
RS485 interface, supports MODBUS protocol, or configures other protocols according to user needs.
3.4.3 Multi-machine parallel coordinated control system
For reactive power compensation of large wind power or photovoltaic power stations, more than two SVGs
need to be operated in parallel. If the parallel control strategy is not added, reactive power hedging will occur,
especially in the constant voltage working mode. After reactive power hedging occurs, the reactive power of the
entire system is 0, and the compensation effect cannot be achieved. At the same time, the different response
speeds of multiple devices will also cause a certain impact on the system, and in severe cases, cause system
oscillation.
There are two technical solutions to solve the SVG parallel problem:
Solution 1: Parallel system with less than four units
The master-slave parallel strategy is adopted. The parallel optical fiber communication rate is 2.5G, and
dynamic switching of the master and slave is supported, so the whole system will not be shut down due to the
failure of any one of them.
Solution 2: A parallel system with more than four units uses an SVG integrated controller. High-speed optical
fiber is used to connect SVGs with a communication rate of 2.5Gbit/s. The system structure is as follows:

10
 Figure 3-7 System diagram for four or more SVGs in parallel
The characteristics of this control strategy are:
1）All SVGs connected in parallel upload their own CT and PT signals, as well as their current working
status.
2）The SVG integrated controller configures and sends reactive current reference according to the current
operating status of each device, reactive power size, and system voltage and current signals.
3）Using 2.5Gbit/s high-speed optical fiber communication, the information of all parallel devices can be
transmitted to each other within 20us, achieving a fast response effect, and ultimately making the response speed
of the parallel system consistent with that of a single device.
4）This control strategy is particularly effective in voltage response. Due to the use of high-speed
communication, the voltage loop judgment calculation is completed by the SVG integrated controller. The entire
parallel system fully meets the national standard requirement of 30ms constant voltage step response speed.

4 Product advantages

4.1 Advantages of system design

4.1.1 Cabinet design advantages

Static var generator is designed as a high-voltage power distribution cabinet with five-protection safety
features, with electrical and mechanical interlocking and protection, and safe operation. Static var generator is
equipped with a special starting cabinet, which is simple and safe to operate.
4.1.2 Cooling system redundancy configuration
Air-cooled SVG: The cooling fan is imported from Germany, and considering the application occasions with
harsh environment, a thermal redundant cooling configuration is adopted to ensure the reliability of the cooling
system.
Water-cooled SVG: The main circulation pump of the pure water cooling device adopts a vertical multi-stage
centrifugal pump. The pump unit is composed of optimized hydraulic components, various connectors and other
components. The main circulation pump should use a dual circulation pump, one for use and one for backup. The
alternating use is: scheduled shift switching (168 hours, the switching cycle is controllable); in the event of a fault,
it will automatically switch according to the water flow under the control system detection.
4.1.3 Improved filter design
The ventilation filter of the static var generator adopts a corrugated filter, which increases the ventilation area
of ​ ​ the filter (6 times the area of ​ ​ the ordinary filter), greatly reduces the number of times the filter needs
to be cleaned per unit time, and reduces the workload of daily maintenance. The filter installation adopts a door
switch type, which is easy to replace.

Figure 4-1 Design of ventilation filter (the upper picture is a normal filter, the lower picture is a ripple filter)

4.2 Advantages of power modules

4.2.1 One-side input

The power module of the static var generator adopts the forward-in-line method, which has high reliability,
strong versatility and is easy to maintain.

Figure 4-2 Air-cooled power module outline

Figure 4-3 Appearance of power module (water cooling)

4.2.2 Adoption of new high-efficiency radiator
Air-cooled SVG uses a specially customized high-efficiency aluminum radiator with more fins, larger heat dissipation area, and
higher heat dissipation efficiency, which is about 40% higher. It is smaller in size and lighter in weight, and its weight is about 50%
less than that of traditional designs.

Figure 4-4 Design comparison of air-cooled radiators

The design of the water-cooled SVG radiator takes into account the smooth removal of gas during the water
flow process, and adopts a water circulation method with water inlet at the bottom and water outlet at the top to
improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the radiator. It not only ensures electrical performance, but also reduces
13
the volume of the power unit and improves the power density.

Figure 4-5 Design of water-cooled radiator

4.2.3 Independent air duct design
Each power part and control part in the power module adopts an overall design that combines overall
shielding with independent chamber shielding, so that the heat dissipation of each heat-generating component
inside the module is uniform. The entire module structure is firm and the shielding effect is good. The EMC and
EMI performance tests of the power module are better than other similar products in the domestic industry.
 Forced airflow is formed in the membrane capacitor group area, which improves the heat dissipation of the
membrane capacitor group and prolongs the service life of the membrane capacitor;
 Air ducts are set on the surface of power devices, grading resistors and in the chamber where the absorption
circuit is installed to improve the internal temperature of the module.
4.2.4 Cooling medium conductivity stabilization and improvement circuit (ion exchange circuit)

Ion exchange resins should be imported non-regenerative resins with large adsorption capacity, high
temperature resistance and high flow rate, and are specially used for the removal of trace ions. The deionized
water circuit processing capacity is the set value when the equipment is operating normally. The flow rate can be
set by reading the branch rotor flowmeter. Generally, only one tenth of the total volume of the main circuit
solution needs to be purified to maintain the stability of the water quality of the total circuit. If there is no special
pollution source, the system resin replacement cycle is not less than 2 years.
The deionized water branch takes measures to prevent resin crystal particles from entering the main circuit
due to recoil.
4.2.5 Piping system
Pipes and pipe fittings (flanges, tees, elbows, valves, connectors, etc.) are welded into a piping system using
automatic argon arc welding and fine grinding technology. The exterior is smooth and bright without visible
marks. The interior is cleaned and passivated in multiple passes and has passed the 8-hour pressure test (the test
pressure is 0.8-1.0Mpa).
Containers (boxes, cylinders) connected to pipelines must pass an 8-hour pressure test (the test pressure is 1.5
times the working pressure of the container).
4.2.6 Module power busbar design

The power module adopts a power busbar design inside, which effectively suppresses the generation of
switching spikes while improving reliability, allowing power modules such as IGBT to work in a safer
environment, while also reducing the electromagnetic radiation generated by the switching of power devices.

14
4.2.7 Module absorption circuit design
The power module absorption circuit designed after precise calculation and actual testing reduces the
switching loss of the IGBT and the temperature rise when the module is working, thus extending the service life
of the power device.
4.2.8 Module aging and testing
1) Each module must pass 120% rated current aging in the factory, and the module bypass function of each
module is tested at 120% rated current to ensure the reliability of the product in use.
2) The control boards used in the power modules have all passed two tests and aging in the factory. The aging
conditions are higher than the industrial-grade temperature and humidity aging standards to ensure the reliability
of the control boards.
4.2.9 Reliable IGBT drive circuit
It uses the IGBT drive module produced by the Swiss CONCEPT company, which is the most advanced and
reliable in the world today. The intelligent circuit diagnoses the working condition of the IGBT at any time. When
an abnormality occurs, the protection circuit can softly shut down the IGBT to ensure that the IGBT is not
damaged, thereby ensuring the reliable operation of the power module.

4.3 Coastal application advantages

7.2 Pure water cooling device

The pure water cooling system consists of a closed circulation cooling loop consisting of a main circulation
pump, a water-air heat exchanger, a voltage stabilizing system, a filtration system, an intelligent temperature
control system, an ion exchange system, etc.
7.2.1 Main circulation pump

The main circulation pump adopts a vertical multistage centrifugal pump design. The pump unit consists of
optimized hydraulic components, various connection fittings, and other parts. The pump's exhaust port is
connected to a gas-water separator to rapidly discharge gases generated during operation, preventing cavitation.
The main circulation pump should use a dual circulation pump, one for use and one for backup. The
alternating use is as follows: timed shift switching (168 hours, the switching cycle is controllable); in the event of
a fault, it will automatically switch according to the water flow under the detection of the control system.
 Main parameters of main circulation pump:
 Impeller material: 304 stainless steel
 Motor insulation class: F
 Brand: Domestic high-quality brand
7.2.2 Water-to-air heat exchanger

The heat-carrying pure water enters the water-to-air heat exchanger, where the heat is taken away by the
forced circulating air to achieve the purpose of heat exchange.
The heat exchanger adopts plate-fin heat dissipation method. The overall structure is simple and compact,
ensuring that pure water is evenly distributed in the aluminum plate cavity. Plate fins are distributed between each
plate cavity. When the fan is running, air is sucked in and flows through the gaps between the plate fins, taking
away the heat and cooling the main circulating water.
 An exhaust plug is installed on the top of the water-to-air heat exchanger to facilitate exhaust

19
 Sponge strips are used to seal the plate fins and the air duct to prevent air leakage and corrosion of different
metal contact surfaces, while also reducing vibration.
 The fan outlet surface remains unobstructed, and hot air circulation is not easy to occur
 The water-to-air heat exchanger motor adopts temperature-step-by-step start-stop control to achieve
energy-saving requirements.
7.2.3 Capsule voltage regulator
In order to maintain the stability of the internal pressure of the system, the water cooling system needs to
adopt a bladder-type pressure stabilization system. When the main circuit medium expands in volume due to
reasons such as temperature increase, the excess medium will be pressed into the air bag tank for storage.
Conversely, when the main circuit medium decreases in volume due to reasons such as temperature decrease, the
air bag tank will input the stored medium into the system at its own pressure, thereby maintaining the internal
pressure of the system stable.
7.2.4 De-exhaust system

The gas generated during the operation of the cooling circuit will accumulate in the pipeline and produce
many adverse effects: polluting the water quality, reducing the flow channel cross-section, increasing the pipeline
pressure and even causing branch flow interruption.
A degassing tank (gas-water separator) and an automatic exhaust valve are set in the water cooling system
loop. The degassing tank is equipped with a pump inlet section. After the heat medium enters, the air is separated
from the water and gathered at the top to be discharged by the automatic exhaust valve after sufficient disturbance
and sudden pressure drop.
7.2.5 Main circuit filter components

In order to prevent rigid particles that may be washed away by the internal circulating cooling water during
rapid flow from entering the valve body, the water cooling device is equipped with a mechanical filter at the inlet
pipeline of the valve body, which uses a stainless steel folded filter element with standard mesh and small water
resistance. When the filter element is scaled to a certain extent, the "filter is blocked" signal can be issued through
the filter inlet pressure gauge. The on-duty personnel need to remove the filter element when the machine is shut
down, clean it or replace it with a new one.
7.2.6 Intelligent temperature control system
The water-cooling unit is equipped with an electric heater and an electric proportional valve. Through PLC
intelligent control, the water temperature entering the load can be kept within a certain range, ensuring stable and
reliable operation of the main equipment.
 Electric heater：
Placed in the main cooling water loop to prevent condensation in the water circulation system.
The heater is started when the internal circulation water supply temperature is ≤10℃, and is stopped when
the internal circulation water supply temperature is ≥12℃.
When the electric heater is running, the water cooling system cannot be shut down to maintain the flow of
cooling water in the pipeline (even if the valve group has stopped running).
The start and stop temperatures of the heater in automatic operation can be set on the touch screen.
 Electric three-way valve：
Placed in the main circulating cooling water loop, it can adjust the ratio of the cooling water flow through the
water-to-air heat exchanger to the cooling water flow not through the water-to-air heat exchanger, and is used to
adjust the cooling water temperature. When the water supply temperature is greater than 26 degrees, adjust the
position of the three-way valve body to allow all the liquid to pass through the heat exchanger loop; when the

20
temperature is greater than 24 degrees and less than 26 degrees, the regulating valve automatically adjusts the
flow of the liquid through the heat exchanger and the bypass; when the temperature is less than 24 degrees, the
liquid passes through the bypass.
The switch temperature of the three-way valve in automatic operation state can be set on the touch screen.
7.2.7 Cooling medium conductivity stabilization and improvement circuit (ion exchange circuit)
Ion exchange resins should be imported non-regenerative resins with large adsorption capacity, high
temperature resistance and high flow rate, and are specially used for the removal of trace ions. The deionized
water circuit processing capacity is the set value when the equipment is operating normally. The flow rate can be
set by reading the branch rotor flowmeter. Generally, only one tenth of the total volume of the main circuit
solution needs to be purified to maintain the stability of the water quality of the total circuit. If there is no special
pollution source, the system resin replacement cycle is not less than 2 years.
The deionized water branch takes measures to prevent resin crystal particles from entering the main circuit
due to recoil.
7.2.8 Piping system

The pipes and pipe fittings (flanges, tees, elbows, valves, connectors, etc.) are welded into a piping system
using automatic argon arc welding and fine grinding technology. The exterior is smooth and bright without visible
marks. The interior is cleaned and passivated in multiple passes and has passed the 8-hour pressure test (the test
pressure is 0.8-1.0Mpa).
Containers (boxes, cylinders) connected to pipelines must pass an 8-hour pressure test (the test pressure is 1.5
times the working pressure of the container).
