The PureWave AVC provides transient-free cycle-per-cycle reactive
power compensation. The concept for this device was developed by
the University of Washington in conjunction with the Bonneville Power
Administration and Southern California Edison.
The PureWave Adaptive VAR Compensator is a solid-state switched
capacitor bank which is connected in parallel with the variable reactive
load. Depending on its kVAR rating, the PureWave AVC provides the
total reactive power required by a variable reactive load within one
cycle of the power frequency. The dynamic response of the PureWave
AVC offers quality enhanced electric power to the user by providing
adaptive reactive power control, which leads to the following benefits
in commercial, industrial, or utility installations:
• Voltage stabilization.
• Electric loss reduction.
• Improved usage of installed capacity.
• Reduction of peak demand charges.
• Reduction of energy consumption.
• Reduction of power factor penalty.
