Reference List
This reference list gives an overview of Siemens’ reactive power compensation and power quality management projects for utility applications.
Siemens has always been a leader in the reactive power compensation business, both in conventional and new technologies. Reactive power
compensation based on Thyristor controlled technology started in the early 1970´s with various applications of thyristor controlled booster
magnets and arc furnace flicker control. Siemens’ first Static Var Compensator for utility application using Thyristor Controlled Reactors (TCR)
was ordered in 1980 by the Brazilian utility Companhia Hidro Elétrica do Saõ Francisco (CHESF). Various other orders followed and in 1984,
Siemens supplied its first Static Var Compensator (SVC) with Thyristor Switched Capacitors (TSC). In this application, a new 100 mm thyristor
was used which had a blocking voltage of 5.6 kV and a continuous current carrying capability of 4000 A.
In 1988 Siemens supplied two SVCs for the Electricity Commission in New South Wales, Australia. This installation applied digital control and
protection systems as well as a TSR (Thyristor Switched Reactor) for the first time. The reactive elements were configured as TSC / TSR
combination to avoid any harmonics being injected into the network.
In 1991, Siemens received the order for the world’s first 3-phase controlled series compensation from Western Area Power Administration
(WAPA), USA. This installation has been in service since 1992 and can be considered as the prototype for the new generation of Flexible AC
Transmission Systems (FACTS).
In 1999 Siemens handed over the first SVC (SVC LA Pila) with Direct Light Triggered Thyristors (LTT) to the Comisión Federal de Electricidad
(CFE) in Mexico. The direct Light Triggered Thyristors have a blocking voltage of 8 kV and a continuous current carrying capacity of 3500 A.
Because of its in-house resources and world-wide presence Siemens is able to cover all fields of Reactive Power Compensation and Power
Quality Management. The scope of services includes network planning, consulting, design, manufacturing, testing, project management,
installation, commissioning, maintenance and service of all types of Reactive Power Compensation systems. Siemens also spends
considerable effort in developing new strategies and technologies for use in tomorrow’s transmission and distribution networks.
