Harmonic failure in the filter of Static Var Compensator
Introduction
This research describes the study of harmonic performance of the SVC when the TCR is the considered harmonic source. The maximum voltage and current harmonic distortion on the 220 kV bus caused by harmonics generated by the TCR are calculated. All calculations are based on network harmonic impedance data described in Section 3. It is verified that the calculated highest distortions due to the TCR harmonic generation are within the limits specified [1].
In summary, the Harmonic Performance Study considers the following factors:
- -
Maximum allowed individual and total harmonic voltage distortion – due to TCR harmonic generation – shall not exceed the limits specified [2].
- -
Maximum allowed individual harmonic current distortion – due to TCR harmonic generation – shall not exceed the limits specified [3].
- -
Network harmonic impedance data [1].
- -
Manufacturing tolerances of the components [4].
- -
Capacitance variations due to changes in temperature [5].
- -
Negative-sequence voltage on the 220 kV bus.
- -
Maximum steady-state error on the TCR firing system [1].
- -
Filter tuning and resonances with power system [1].
The network impedance seen from the SVC connecting bus is one of the most important parameters affecting the filter design and performance, due to possible resonance phenomena between filters and network. As the network impedance will change over time due to different operating conditions, connection of loads and generators, and outages of main components [6], it is essential that the representation used in the studies covers the whole range of possible operating conditions [7]. Normally this is done by defining envelopes of impedances which encompasses all possible values that can reproduce the impedance of the network over a wide range of frequencies.

Harmonics in the power system
Theory for calculation of harmonic generation from a TCR and calculation of harmonic currents and voltages in the SVC caused by the TCR harmonic generation is described in Ref. [1].
It has provided system models in Power Factory format, representing the power system where the SVC is to be installed. Several cases of contingencies were considered. A frequency scan has been performed for each contingency. For 2019 three study cases has been considered; max, med and min load flow and one study case
Methodology for failure analysis
The new methodology proposed in this research should be apply for harmonic limits involves characterizing the harmonic sources, the assessment of the impact on the power energy system. It will permit to work for a better implementation of control, if necessary.
It could generate a cooperative effort of all the parties involved in the failure analysis and design problem with SVC, TCR, TSC and filters associated to the power system. Most outstandingly. Through the user, the manufacturer of

Since this value is close to the size of the compensation required by Ferranti effect in Intermediate, it is convenient to install a fixed line reactor of 22.57 MVAr in Intermediate, instead of an MCR [34]. Fig. 16 shows this curve for the voltage in Iquitos (continuous line) and Intermediate (dashed line).
