GE’s utility grade Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM) solution is a custom designed system to be installed on transmission grids, providing reactive power compensation and improved range of operational voltage with a faster response time and a smaller footprint than traditional SVC solutions.

GE’s utility grade Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM) solution is a custom designed system to be installed on transmission grids. It provides grid operators with reactive power compensation and improved range of operational voltage with a faster response time and a smaller footprint than traditional Static Var Compensator (SVC) solutions.

Power Conversion & Storage’s STATCOMs are based on our proven range of Voltage Source Converters with demonstrated capability in energy and industrial applications such as rail, wind power, mining, melting shops and other industries using IGBT technology.
