Static VAR Compensator (SVC) is a conventional FACTS technology and has been a part of power grids across the globe for many decades. Advancement in power electronics switches and better control mechanisms have brought Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM) to life. This offers better control, is faster in response, and has a smaller footprint as compared to an SVC.
