The authors present a detailed model of a static VAr compensator (SVC) for digital simulation of electromagnetic transients. It is also demonstrated that this model can adequately reproduce SVC transient behavior as verified in transient network analyzer studies carried out with a replica of the SVC control system. The SVC control system is described, with emphasis on some special blocking schemes needed to meet particular requirements of the power system transient performance. The complete system and SVC data are also included.< >
