Gujarat Energy Transmission Corporation Limited (GETCO) has made a significant advancement by installing a Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM) at the 220 kV Timbdi substation in Gir Somnath district. Commissioned on March 5, 2019, this system, which operates at +-120 MVAR, is designed to enhance voltage stability and ensure smooth power flow across the grid, addressing the challenges posed by fluctuating demand, particularly from the agricultural sector. Previously, the substation experienced voltage fluctuations ranging from 190 kV to 245 kV, which posed reliability issues. The STATCOM technology provides dynamic reactive power compensation, enabling real-time adjustments to maintain stable voltage levels, thereby improving the overall efficiency of the grid and reducing transmission losses. Following the successful implementation at Timbdi, GETCO plans to expand the use of STATCOM technology by installing additional +-125 MVAR systems at six other substations, reflecting the state's commitment to enhancing power infrastructure and ensuring a reliable electricity supply for all.
