SVCs to stabilize a large 735 kV transmission system in Canada
SVCs to stabilize a large 735 kV transmission system in Canada In Canada, Hydro-Québec is operating a total of eight Static Var Compensators (SVC) in its 735 kV transmission system, sup- plied by ABB. The 735 kV grid transmits a total of 15000 MVA of environmentally friendly hydro power over six lines from the generating stations along La Grande Rivière at James Bay down to the Montréal area some 1000 km to the south.
