Abstract
The conduction angles variation in operating a static var compensator can be used to meet the balanced and varying cyclic load of reactive power demand. However, this operation creates harmonics current into the system. An optimum combination of balanced reactive power from SVC and reactive power from the generator based on telephone influence factor (TIF), the total harmonic current factor (IT), and the distribution factor D is proposed. This approach is simulated to a typical distribution network. However, this operation creates harmonics currents into the AC system. This strategy is implemented to a conventional distribution network for various loading conditions is presented.
