A STATCOM is built next to an existing LCC to compensate its power factor. This LCC is connected to a 3-phase 146 kV grid and has a rated DC current of 627A as well as a minimum firing angle of 8 degrees. Calculate the maximum reactive power (in the load convention) this STATCOM would have to generate to keep a final unity power factor. Provide the answer within a +-1MVAr margin Round your answer to 0 decimal places.
