Toshin STATCOM
The World’s Largest Installation: Toshin STATCOM
Mitsubishi Electric developed the first GCT (Gate-Commutated Turnoff thyristor)-based STATCOM in the early 2000’s.
Mitsubishi Electric commissioned the largest STATCOM in the world; the +/- 450 MVA unit at Toshin. The project was completed ahead of programme in 2012.
PURPOSE: To achieve improvements of small-signal stability and over-voltage suppression, Chubu Electric Co. commissioned
Mitsubishi Electric to design, manufacture and install the world’s largest STATCOM.
