or a reactor during a quarter of a cycle and in the next quarter of the cycle
it is sent back to the power source. Therefore the reactive power oscillates
Reactive power does not travel very far Usually necessary to produce it

Methods of control voltage Reactive Power
Control of voltage levels is accomplished by controlling the production,
and absorption, of reactive power flow at all levels in the system
The Shunt connected reactors are used to reduce the line over
power
The term static is used to denote that there are no moving or rotating components
The SVC designed to bring the system closer to unitypower factor. (usually use

Advantage and disadvantage
a) They are more reliable .
b) Faster in operation .
c) Smoother control and more
flexibility can be provided with
the help of thyristors.
