Key Trends in the Market
A static VAR compensator is an electrical device that provides immediate reactive power for high voltage transmission networks. It helps regulate the voltage, power factor, and harmonics and also helps stabilise the overall system. They are connected to power systems near large industrial loads in order to regulate the transmission voltage and improve the quality of the power.- The capability of static VAR compensators to reduce the reactive power across extended ranges and further show negligible time delay is a major factor fuelling the growth of the static VAR compensator market.
- Increasing adoption of the VAR compensators in the railway and power infrastructure sectors such as wind and solar power stations in order to replace the existing grid has helped in the growth of the market.
- Steel industries and other large scale industries experience power fluctuations sometimes which hampers both the equipment and the manufacturing process. For smooth operations, the demand for static VAR compensator is rising from large-scale industries, helping in the market growth.
