ABSTRACT:
In a hybrid switched-capacitor controlled-reactor static VAR compensator including a fixed-capacitor, hysteresis on switching-OFF a switchable capacitor of the capacitance bank is performed with a minimal fixed-hysteresis at the entrance of the standby region and with a temporary and variable-hysteresis in relation to any operating point in the standby region whenever maintaining the capacitor OFF is required. Since the fixed-hysteresis operates most often to prevent switching-OFF of the capacitor while the variable-hysteresis will operate less often, the losses at standby are minimized during thyristor-switched capacitor operation through most of this.
