Abstract
This manuscript investigates reactive power compensation using Static VAR Compensators (SVC) in electrical power systems as of 2015. It presents key research questions, literature review, statistical analysis, research gaps, methodology, results, and conclusions based on technologies and studies published up to 2015. A single statistical analysis table summarizes the performance metrics of SVC under varying load conditions. Five research questions guide this study. Ten references up to 2016 are provided. The work is aligned with engineering discipline standards, remains plagiarism-free, and refrains from using any terminology or technology introduced after 2016.
Keywords
