The principle of the SVG is very similar to that of Active Power Filter, When the load is generating inductive or capacitive current, it makes load current lagging or leading the voltage. SVG detects the phase angle difference and generates leading or lagging current into the grid, making the phase angle of current almost the same as that of voltage on the transformer side, which means fundamental power factor is unit. SVG is also capable of correcting load imbalance.
Where there is a low-voltage transformer installed and next to large electrical equipment should be equipped with reactive power compensation devices (this is the provisions of the national power department), especially those with low power factor industrial mines, enterprises, residential areas must be installed. Large asynchronous motors, transformers, welding machines, punches, lathes, air compressors, presses, cranes, smelting, steel rolling, aluminum rolling, large switches, electric irrigation equipment, electric locomotives, etc. In addition to incandescent lighting in residential areas, air conditioning, refrigerators, etc., are also reactive power consumption objects that can not be ignored. The rural electricity situation is relatively bad, most areas lack of power supply, voltage fluctuation is very large, power factor is especially low, installing compensation equipment is an effective measure to improve the power supply situation and improve the utilization rate of electric energy.
