Siemens has commissioned 400 kV Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM) solutions at Power Grid Corporation of India’s (PGCIL) substation in Rourkela, Odisha. The state-of-the-art STATCOM solution provides optimal grid stabilization technology. The project was designed, delivered and commissioned in 22 months. The STATCOM solution equipment was manufactured locally at Siemens Goa plant.
STATCOM, with a dynamic swing range of 600MVAr and 250MVAr mechanically switched components, regulates the transmission variations automatically according to the grid conditions, thus leading to availability of reliable and uninterrupted power to the consumers in the associated network.
This is the first STATCOM order commissioned by Siemens and is the latest chapter in the long and successful Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) journey in India. Siemens together with PGCIL, have always been trendsetters in India for FACTS. It started in 2003 when Siemens delivered several Fixed Series Capacitors (FSC), the first Thyristor Controlled Series Capacitor (TCSC) in India followed in 2004. The largest Indian Static Var Compensator (SVC) project has also been commissioned by Siemens in 2017.
