A Comparative Study of Static VAR Systems for ImprovingVoltage Stability in Expansion of Mining Projects with Gearless Motor Drives

Table 7

Comparison between SVS configurations.

SVS configurations	Primary driver	Cost comparison	Space occupancy	Performance in transient stability
SVC + MSC	Cost	30% cheaper than 30 MVAr SVC	60% more space than STATCOM + MSC	Satisfactory performance in reducing voltage peaks and overvoltage
STATCOM + MSC	Space	26% more expensive than SVC + MSC	75% less space than 30 MVAr SVC	Satisfactory performance in reducing voltage peaks and overvoltage
