  • Description: <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:p>This work is dedicated to finding effective hardware solutions for implementing the power part of reactive power compensation units for high voltage electric networks. It shows the possibility of cooperative usage of thyristor and electromechanical key elements for switching static capacitor batteries in high-voltage networks. Based on the suggested hardware solutions main technical and cost characteristics of thyristor capacitor units are determined. The rationality of their use in industrial high-voltage electrical networks of 6-10 kV is concluded. It is shown that the usage of hybrid thyristor capacitor units allows one to reduce the expenses, to provide the required range of accuracy of reactive power regulation, to cut power losses in the network, to guarantee normalized voltage level in the load nodes and to increase the reliability and duration of power equipment life cycle.</jats:p>
