On June 2nd, 2018, NR successfully commissioned two sets of 20 Mvar/13.8 kV Mobile Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM) in Layla and Summan Area, which is the world’s first energized fully mobile STATCOM.

Due to the large amount of induction-motor-based air conditioner load the power grid of Saudi Arabia suffers from severe voltage stability and FIDVR issues (fault-induced delayed voltage recovery). STATCOM is the most advanced technology to mitigate voltage stability problems.

STATCOM

STATCOM will provide dynamic reactive power compensation to stabilize the system voltage

STATCOM will provide dynamic reactive power compensation to stabilize the system voltage and help voltage recovery during and after network faults. 

Moreover, the new mobile STATCOM which can be fast relocated anywhere in the grid provides more stability, flexibility, resiliency, and reliability for the network operation.

HVDC & FACTS solutions

NR’s PCS-9583 STATCOM adopts a cascaded scheme of multi-level topology, which consists of several H-bridge sub-modules to achieve a sinusoidal voltage output. The multi-level converter-based STATCOM produces extremely low harmonics, which can significantly decrease the harmonic current flowing into the grid and eliminate the need of a large-sized filter.

NR offers field-proven HVDC & FACTS solutions to overcome system stability and power quality problems in power systems. The complete HVDC & FACTS solution, along with high-quality equipment, will help increase transfer capacity and ensure the stability and quality of the next-generation smart grid.
