active compensators (e.g., synchronous condensers, static var compensators, static synchronous compensators that can be either sources or sinks of reactive power; regulating transformers (e.g., tap-changing transformers).
A heave compensator is a kind of motion compensator. Whereas most motion compensators will compensate for movement in all directions, the heave compensator will compensate for movement in only one direction, for instance, for vertical movement. In practice, the words motion compensator and heave compensator are used interchangeably. Sensor ...
Metal expansion joints (also called compensators) are compensating elements for thermal expansion and relative movement in pipelines, containers and machines. They consist of one or more metal bellows , connectors at both ends, and tie rods that depend on the application.
In Electrical Engineering, a static VAR compensator (SVC) is a set of electrical devices for providing fast-acting reactive power on high-voltage electricity transmission networks. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] SVCs are part of the flexible AC transmission system [ 3 ] [ 4 ] device family, regulating voltage, power factor, harmonics and stabilizing the system.
Rotating synchronous condensers were introduced in 1930s [2] and were common in 1950s, but due to high costs were eventually displaced in new installations by the static var compensators (SVCs). [2] They remain an alternative (or a supplement) to capacitors for power-factor correction because of problems that have been experienced with ...
Kirill Marchenko and Kent Johnson scored in the shootout and the Columbus Blue Jackets rallied to beat the Pittsburgh Penguins 4-3 on Tuesday night. Elvis Merzlikins, who made 20 saves, stopped ...
