+###  Components Explained
+
+####  Static VAR Compensator (SVC)
+A **shunt-connected static var generator/absorber** using thyristor-controlled reactors (TCR) and thyristor-switched capacitors (TSC).  
+It adjusts its output to maintain bus voltage stability by absorbing or supplying reactive power.  
+SVC provides:
+- Quick voltage regulation  
+- Improved transient response  
+- Lower installation cost compared to STATCOM  
+
+####  Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM)
+A **voltage-source converter (VSC)** based shunt-connected compensator.  
+It generates controllable reactive power independent of system voltage, offering superior performance in low-voltage conditions.  
+STATCOM provides:
+- Fast dynamic response  
+- Better voltage control  
+- Harmonic filtering capability

+###  Applications
+- Voltage stability improvement  
+- Reactive power compensation  
+- Power quality enhancement  
+- Transient stability support  
+- Load balancing  
+- Renewable energy integration  
+- Industrial and transmission applications
