STATCOM: The Smart Solution for Power Stability by Clariant Power System Limited

In India’s rapidly evolving power landscape, maintaining stable voltage and ensuring power quality is more important than ever. With industries growing and renewable energy like solar plants coming online, the demand for STATCOM for power stability is rising. Clariant Power System Limited provides this advanced solution, designed to keep your system efficient and resilient under all load conditions.

What Exactly is STATCOM?

Think of STATCOM as a knowledgeable power assistant. It uses advanced IGBT-based technology to provide stepless reactive power compensation, meaning it can instantly supply or absorb the exact amount of reactive power your system needs, without waiting or switching in large steps like traditional capacitor banks. This real-time adjustment helps maintain voltage levels perfectly, even when the load varies quickly.

Why Should You Consider STATCOM?

Choosing STATCOM means investing in real-time, reliable voltage regulation that adapts instantly to your facility’s needs.

Fast and Precise Voltage Control: STATCOM reacts within milliseconds to keep your voltage steady and your equipment safe.

Better Power Factor: By reducing unnecessary reactive power from the grid, it helps you save on electricity bills and avoid penalties.

Cleaner Power Supply: It filters out harmonics and flicker, which means less wear and tear on your machines and smoother operations.

Balances Your Loads: Unbalanced loads are common in many Indian industries — STATCOM helps correct this, protecting your assets.

Easy to Integrate and Monitor: With modern communication interfaces and remote operation, managing your power system becomes simpler.
