Abstract
Photovoltaic (PV) solar farms are typically dormant at nighttime with their entire expensive assets unused. This paper presents the first in Canada (and perhaps first in the world) utility demonstration of a novel nighttime and daytime technology of utilizing PV solar farm as a dynamic reactive power compensator (STATCOM), and named PV-STATCOM. The field demonstration was performed on a 10 kW PV solar farm installed in the utility network of Bluewater Power Distribution Corporation, in Sarnia, Ontario. It is demonstrated that the solar farm autonomously transforms into a STATCOM and ensures continuous stable operation of a critical induction motor during large disturbances which would otherwise destabilize the motor. The PV-STATCOM is thus shown to be a new FACTS device STATCOM which provides a 24/7 dynamic voltage control functionality as a STATCOM but is about 50 times less costly than an actual equivalent sized STATCOM. The PV-STATCOM is further demonstrated to be a new smart inverter which operates much faster than a conventional smart inverter and also during nighttime, which present-day smart inverters do not. Shutdown of critical induction motors used in industries such as petrochemicals, process control, mining, automotive, medicines, etc. can result in significant financial loss to the industries. This novel functionality of critical motor stabilization by solar farms as PV-STATCOM can potentially open a substantial new revenue earning opportunity for solar farms in addition to generation of active power. This paper presents the first stage results of field demonstration of PV-STATCOM technology on 13 <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">th</sup> Dec. 2016, in an ongoing project.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
