ComEd SVC Installations
Wednesday, January 8, 2014

ComEd
About the Topic
To support the reliability and voltage response of ComEd's
transmission system after the retirement of synchronous condensers and
coal generation, ComEd installed its first pair of static VAR
compensators (SVCs) at the Elmhurst substation in 2010. An additional
pair of SVCs is nearing completion at the Prospect Heights substation,
and a third pair is planned for the Crawford substation in
Chicago. This presentation will provide an overview of ComEd's
justification for installing SVCs, a discussion of the SVC designs at
Elmhurst and Prospect Heights, and what we have learned during the
installation of these devices.
About the Speaker
David C. Schooley is a Senior Engineer in the Transmission Planning
department at ComEd. His Bachelor of Science and Master of Science
degrees in Electrical Engineering are from Oklahoma State University,
and his Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering is from the Georgia
Institute of Technology where he studied the integration of large
amounts of wind and solar energy into the generation mix. In a
previous life, he was employed as an electrical engineer at Southern
Research Technologies in Birmingham, Alabama, where he designed
digital hardware and wrote software for guided missiles and airborne
data-acquisition platforms.
His job responsibilities at ComEd have included work in transmission
operations, where he was involved in demand side management, load
forecasting, and the implementation of real-time visualization of the
transmission system in ComEd's control room. He currently works in
ComEd's Transmission Planning department where he is primarily
involved with dynamic modeling and simulation of the transmission
system.
