Fill in the Blanks

1.......................has no means to increase transiently the VAR generation, since the maximum capacitive
current it can draw is strictly determined by the size of the capacitor and the magnitude of system
voltage

2.....................is the harmonic source in the SVC.

3. For an FC-TCR VAR generator the maximum capacitive VAR output.................with the square of
voltage decrease

4.......................is capable of drawing controlled real power from an energy source at its D.C terminal and
deliver it as A.C power to the system.

5........................type of compensator was designed to offer dynamic compensation

6................and...................are static var generators, whose output is varied so as to maintain or control

specific parameters of the electric power system.

7. SVC operates as a shunt connected.........................

8......................operates as a shunt connected controlled reactive admittance

9 STATCOM is one of the types of......................controllers.
